This year for the Storybook Character (Halloween) parade at Child Study Center, Thomas was Jay from the book "Pocketful of Cricket." Jay is a little boy who lives on a farm and loves to put things in his pocket: hickory nuts, buckeyes, beans, fossils, arrowheads, feathers--and a cricket that becomes his special friend. This character is particularly fitting for Thomas, as he is also prone to storing "valuables" in his pockets (that often times come out in the wash.) He also enjoys sticking his hands down other people's pockets to see what treasures they may have hidden in their clothes.
Below is also a picture of Thomas with his cousins from this year's Halloween party. With Daddy gone, we made it a much smaller affair this year, but it was no less fun to celebrate the harvest and ghost and goblins with friends and family. (Thomas, who was supposed to wear his "Pocketful of Cricket" costume for the party, decided at the last minute to don his red velvet cloak and be "The Bloody Hand." I guess a cricket just isn't scary enough.)
