My body says, “Oh! I’ve had enough walking! Get me to bed!”

Claire:Yesterday wasn’t Halloween, but today, it is!!

Claire: Yesterday was nearly Halloween, but today is!!

Claire: Happy loves Halloween!


Alex: We’re too excited!
Claire: We’re too excited!
Alex: We’re gonna go trick-or-treating!
Alex: And then I’m gonna say, “I got a rock.”


Claire: What? It’s not dark!
Daddy: Yeah, it’s getting lighter now.
Claire: But I want it to be dark so we can go out in the dark!

Alex (looking at his Flintstone vitamin): Hey. This looks like a lizard. In a seat. In a wheelchair.

Claire: F starts fff, fff, fall Caillou!
Daddy: Good, Claire!
Claire: C, c. C, c, c, c. C starts Caillou.
Daddy: Good, Claire! You're learning!

Alex: Should I say trick-or treat two times, or one time?
Daddy: One time.


Alex; Well, I do wanna go trick-or-treating, but, I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to walk.



Alex (to Simon): You should go home now.

Alex (to Mommy): I’m sorry you don’t have your car for a long time.


(Daddy gets ready to play It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, despite protests from Claire.)

Claire: And he will say, “I have a rock.”

Daddy: I’ll go fast through the parts you don’t like, okay Claire?
Claire: Okay. I don’t like that Snoopy goes in the dark and change colors.

Alex: I got a chocolate bar. I got a rock.
(Alex cracks himself up.)

Claire: Mommy? Do we have candy in that bowl?

Alex: I think somebody’s gonna say “I got a rock.” I think Charlie Brown might say it soon.

Charlie Brown: I got a rock.
(Alex cracks up. Claire responds in kind.)

Charlie Brown: I got a rock.
(Claire and Alex laugh.)

Claire: I like Halloween.

Mommy: What do you like about it?
Claire: Getting candy.


Alex: Daddy, Halloween is like a chocolate day! ‘Cause you get candy!


(Alex lies on Daddy’s chair, then he gives Daddy some hints as to what Daddy’s sitting on.)
Alex: Daddy, his name is Alex, he loves his daddy, and he likes to go to school! It’s… me!!


(Trick-or-treating)

Alex: I like your decoration on your door!

Alex: That was nice to say of me.

Claire: Can you carry me?


(After trick-or-treating.)

Alex: Ugh! I can’t walk!

Claire: I got tired of doing that.

Alex: Daddy, guess what happened? Elly and Bobo didn’t get to go trick-or-treating. They missed it.

Alex: I am getting a cold. I have to get a tissue every five minutes.

Alex: My body says, “Oh! I’ve had enough walking! Get me to bed!”

(Alex searches his loot for a pack of Smarties.)
Alex: I’m looking for the colorful circles that are all in a line.

Alex: One of them had a really spooky costume! He had a black coat on, and a scary mask!


Alex: I think I need to be carried.

Alex: I'm all stretched out. My body can't -- have any more walking. I'm all stretched out.

Claire: Daddy, I'm too tired.

Alex: You know what my body’s telling me? I'm too tired to walk. It’s trying to make my legs hurt.
Alex: I don’t know what's happening to me.
