This is Halloween

The boulevard down the street from our house is a popular trick-or-treating destination, so we took Nico over for a walk in his stroller.

Unfortunately it didn't occur to me to take a photo of Nico alone in his costume until I'd already changed him into his pajamas. Therefore, you'll have to make do with this creatively-edited picture of Nico and me that was taken by my friend bibliophile81 in front of her parents' house:
