Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from The Mr., The Mrs., Thing 1 & Thing 2.

"I got a rock."

Yesterday, after dinner, we headed out into the big, wide world in our best costumes to do some much needed trick-or-treating. Thing 1 had this trick-or-treating thing down. He wasted no time and ran from one house to the next. Thing 2, however, was pushed from house to house in his stroller and enjoyed being given candy for looking cute in a skeleton costume. After this endeavor, I do have one piece of advice for all who hand out halloween candy. *gets on soap box* Please offer candy to all children, no matter how small. I know my youngest child can not really eat candy, but he did see his older brother get candy at each house and feels he is entitled to anything older brother gets. If you must, just give the older child one piece of candy and the younger child one piece of candy. This will please the younger one greatly and we really do not need more that one or two pieces of candy per house anyway. For those of you who did not give candy to my youngest, once we left your house he got very angry and I am sure he cursed you in his own language. Thank you for listening. *Takes a bow and gets off soap box.*

Now to the real reason you came by this blog: Pictures!

We hope everyone had a safe and happy halloween!!!

Halloween

The boys had a Halloween parade at daycare yesterday that both The Mr. & I went to. It was fun to see the boys and all their classmates walking around outside in costume. I noticed that superheros, particularly Batman, were very popular this year. In one of the classes, they had 3 children dressed up as a monkey! I didn't realize that monkey would be so popular!!

Thing 1 chose his costume as well as his little brother's costume. The day that the costumes were purchased, I was home in bed, sick with the beginnings of pneumonia. Thing 1 decided to be Mr. Incredible and picked out a bumblebee costume for Thing 2. The Mr. said that there wasn't much choice in the infant section when they went as there were only 3 costumes to choose from (bumblebee, ladybug, or chili pepper). I think it turned out well.

Thing 2 fell asleep before we ever started trick-or-treating so he was just pushed along the neighborhood in his stroller. Thing 1 really enjoyed trick-or-treating this year. He fully understood the concept (much different than last year where he kept trying to trade in the piece of candy he got at one house for a different one at the next house). He ended up with a lot of candy and we didn't even go to that many houses. The minimum number of pieces at each house was 2 and by the end they were giving out bags of candy!!

How was everyone else's Halloween experience? Happy Halloween!!
