Halloween

AJ wanted to be Harry Potter again, so we just got all his costume stuff out from last year.

Drew couldn't decide, first he wanted to be Indiana Jones, then Peter Pan, then a vampire. He went back and forth between those for weeks, finally on Halloween I took him to the store and told him he just had to pick and he picked Indiana Jones.





I took the boys trick or treating by myself, Corey got stuck at work until 7 and I had to work at 8, so about 6:30 the boys and I went out to go around the neighborhood. They get bored after about 45 minutes anyway, so by the time Corey caught up with us they were ready to head home and hand out candy to the trick or treaters that came to our door.









With Andrew's food allergies, there isn't much candy that he can have, plus they always get way too much, so this year we decided to put all their candy out on the porch just before bed and leave a note for the Great Pumpkin asking him to trade for a toy. AJ got a Leap Frog spelling game tin and Andrew got an Indiana Jones Mr. Potato Head. They also got a little bit of candy too. It worked out really well.

We met up with the neighbor kids for a bit, they had some pretty cute costumes, the Oompa Loompa's mom made his costume and her Wonka Bar costume too.





And finally, a picture from last year that's too cute not to share. Andrew had a monkey costume, and when we were out trick or treating we ran into another neighbor who's little girl had the same costume so we took their picture together.
