Bradley brother's 3rd birthday

Morning

"It's morning time!" Bradley walks into our room, as usual... I look over and mumble something about it being his birthday, he's forgotten.

So we go down stairs...

He needs a wee-wee. Must be the excitement.	It's a difficult process, working out which ones to open first.
Of course, Esme would like to offer her assistance opening presents. But he soon get the hang of it, even if he does insist on taking every last bit of paper off.	Bradley does like his Thomas tank trains, and he knows all the names. The fist present he opened was a battery powered James. Now, I wouldn't know if it was a James, unless it was written on the box.
	This is a classic "Hey!" pose. Hands thrust nearly on hips and a loud indignant, "hey!"
Harold the Helicopter and landing pad on a hospital - with an ambulance. What more could a boy ask for?	Cranky the Crane was also popular.

As it's a school day for Bradley he has to get dressed and go, leaving his presents. This he does without much grumbling, and runs into his class.

Well, he does have cake for them, and it is his birthday!

Afternoon

We have a party for him when he comes back from school, not many invited, just Alex and Francis, and their neighbout, Amy. As it's also Halloween, we're going off to Telford Town park where there's a trick or treat night.

The guests arrive and play with the new presents.	Even Auntie Alison joins in the fun.
Vampire princess. But she drops the vampire stuff, and becomes a princess. Must have been those nightmares about vampires after the Kentucky Fried Chicken toys a few weeks ago - one was a vampires. Of course I spelled out into much detail, what a vampire was.	She reminds me on my mum, I'm sure she has the same thin lips. And Bradley blows out the candles, have more of this on video, and trying to work a video and take stills is pretty difficult.
Too cute to be scary!	Pretty scary!

Evening

The Teddy Train, where I keep pointing out scary trees, moons, witches in the trees, "look!"	And off we set to the town park, they've laid on the Teddy Train. And we see many other witches and monsters on the way.
I follow behind, and in the darkness see Bradley's red horns bobbing up and down, can't resist a picture, knowing that the flash will be too weak.	And this is how he looks from the front.
And the side...
There was a crooked man in a crooked house. This mask is quite realistic. We all stare and would have been there ages were there not a queue to see him. He didn't say much.	Frankenstein! This scary picture missed the kids - they're far to worried to get in close enough. Esme keeps on about this geezer for days. And the wolf man: she was startled as we were about to pass a geezer dressed in a wold costume, she doesn't like dressed up people at the best of times. And I was stuck, she couldn't pass him and wanted to turn back and go home. Thankfully, after an age she relented and hurried past.
Nice shot of Amy.	A successful night and we're off home.
