Trick or Treat town

Just wanted to share some pictures of the boys at Trick or Treat town this year. Both boys were dressed as dinosaurs, well, dragons, but Xavier insisted they were dinosaur costumes. We also let Xavier decide what we would be for Halloween, which was interesting. We were willing to be dinosaurs too, but he wanted Scott to be a pig and me to be a butterfly. I have no idea where he gets these ideas, but at least he didn't want Scott to be the butterfly, right?


Xavier had a lot of fun there and of course, Toby slept the whole time. And every day since then, Xavier has been asking to go trick or treating again. Oh, and trying to get to his pumpkin on the counter. It's amazing the things he will say or do to get to the candy. The other day I caught him on his stool next to the counter, and when I walked into the kitchen, he pretended he was trying to "fix" the dishwasher. Ridiculous I tell you. That and persistent.

Tomorrow we plan to go to "Howl-o-ween" where dogs are dressed up in costume. It's free and we think Xavier will get a kick out of all the dogs in costume. I picked up a little shark costume from Target for Atillah. I'm sure it's not his favorite thing in the world, but he doesn't seem to mind too much. He'll probably only be wearing it for pictures and then we'll take it off. I wish I could have found a dinosaur one, but I didn't want to spend more than a couple bucks on a dog costume. Tomorrow night, we just plan to go trick or treating to a couple houses here in our cul-de-sac and then stay in to hand out candy to the neighbor kids.


Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween and posts lots of pics of their little cuties in costumes!
