This years Halloween was a lot of fun! Caden was Obi-Wan-Kenobi and Cole was Yoda. Caden loved his costume, especially his "light sword", and I have to admit I love his costume too because it's the first one I've finally made! Only because the one in the store that was of any sort of quality was 40-something Dollars!!! not including a light saber! Outrageous! Cole tolerated his costume... we had to keep both hands occupied with pretzels when we put on his ears, then he forgot they were on and was fine. We went around with the Sevins and some of their family members. You can see they were Captain Hook, a Bat and a Strawberry! Everyone looked very festive. Caden's new buddy was Michelle, or as Caden referred to her as "the white girl", toward the end of the night she was upgraded to "Shell". She was a great sport and ran from house to house with Caden and Cole S. (a.ka. "my friend Cole" not to be confused with "Cole-bear" or "Cole-my-Brother), while the rest of us trotted behind. Cole was a real trooper, walking a lot of the way. Really we only picked him up to pick up the pace a bit! He had the true Yoda waddle which made his costume even better. I wish I had taken some video!
Cole pushed his way up the steps and through the crowd to be the first to get a piece of candy in his bag. While Caden was a Halloween Diva, and "Mister" Kelly was his designated candy bag holder so he'd go up to the house get a piece of candy and bring it back to the bag that Kelly was holding for him. No one else was allowed to hold his bag! We tried to relieve her, but somehow she kept ending up with it again! It was a great night, even though all of our candy was stolen yet again this year... that's what we get for leaving the bowl out. This year we even left a sign, "Please Take 2" Naturally it didn't work, but at least we tried! I guess next year one of us will have to stay home. 2 years in a row with no candy after the first few minutes of Trick-or-Treat might get us egged! Enjoy the photos of us and the neighborhood monsters!
Cole knew just what to do! He walked up the Sevins walkway to the front door looking for his treat!
Captain Hook and Obi-Wan duel!
The littler goblins!
Cole just stood in the Sevins driveway in one spot while we took pictures. He just kept looking at everyone as if thinking "what are these people dressed in these funny clothes for?!" Little did he realize he had funny clothes too!
The kids could have stayed and looked at this Halloween Globe lawn decoration all night!
Caden with "The White Girl"
Trick-or-Treat!
All the kids at the last house of the evening, the Sevins, before we went in for cookies and cake to end the evening! YUM!
Cole trying to be just like the big kids, notice the lollipop still has its wrapper on? We decided to let him try it after awhile.. big mistake, he was drooling stickiness all over the place, and when we took it away to spare the mess, we got the meanest parents of the year award from Cole.
