If you somehow failed to notice, yesterday was Halloween. We've never really celebrated Halloween before....I guess I always figured we'd wait until the kids were a little older. So I hadn't made any plans for this year until our good friends, Corey and Blythe, invited us to come over for the evening. Even after that I didn't plan to do costumes or anything until I happened to find a frog costume in Sadie's closet that someone had given us. I know, not girly and, at best, gender neutral, but it was EXACTLY her size and of course she looked darling in it, so I thought why not try to find Parker a costume. Easy peasy, right? Not so much. Everything was picked over (I can't imagine why) and I had a very hard time trying to find something a) in his size, b) not scary or weird, and c) not ridiculously expensive. I was a woman on a mission so three *yes, three* hours and six *yes, six* stores later, I finally came home with a cowboy and it ended up being perfect.
Parker, the cowboy
Sadie, the frog
Corey and Blythe had their house all done up and even had a smoke machine
They were definitely in the spirit of Halloween!
Our family ready to head out to trick-or-treat
I wasn't really sure how Parker would react as we started out, and at first he was very shy and clinging to Andrew. By about the third house, he was saying "thank you!" and by about the tenth house, he walked right up and knocked (hard) on the door. As we were leaving that house, he said "bye, see you next week" and from there on out he was an old pro.
Parker and Daddy
Me with Sadie
We finally made it back to Corey and Blythe's where Parker was eager to help pass out the rest of their candy to trick-or-treaters. We had a great time eating some super yummy food and playing games. Thanks again, guys, for having us over!!! It was a blast, and now I can't wait until next year when we can do it all over again....well, minus the mad costume dash, of course.
