Trick or Treat


For Halloween, I spent a lot of time debating on the boys' costumes. I wanted them to coordinate in some way but they are also a little too young to understand or care about certain character costumes. The weather is always unpredictable and I was afraid to get a heavy animal costume that they would burn up in if it turned out warm. So I found some crayola costumes online that I thought would be perfect. They coordinated, they were light weight, and easy to take on and off. I liked the fact that the hat came separate instead of attached, so if they refused to wear it, you could still see them and know they were crayons. We spent the week leading up to Halloween "practicing" wearing their hats. Jonathan didn't seem to mind having it on, Parker would always take it off. However, much to my surprise they both kept their hats on the whole night of Halloween and never seemed to care!

We first met up with Lilah and went trick or treating with her. Thankfully she let us borrow her wagon so we did not have to carry the boys or take them in and out of the stroller at every house. Parker and Lilah took turns pulling. Parker was not sure what to do at first but by the end of the evening he knew to get a piece of candy for his bag and one for Jonathan's. They had a lot of fun together.



Our next stop was at Aiyah and Grandad's house. We went to a few of their neighbors for candy.

And of course no night would be complete without a visit to the Leach's!
Cindy was ready with fruit snacks and Jason was ready with his camera to take some pics for me.



The girls took them to several houses on their street.
Cindy had recently bought some toys for the boys to play with when they come visit. So after trick or treating the boys spent time playing with their new toys. (notice who still had his hat on)



It was a fun night with the boys!
