Halloween Pics




Well, it is a little late...but here are our pictures from Halloween. We somehow managed to not have our camera with us, but our friends saved the day.

Two months ago the boys picked out their costumes at Costco. Justin picked out a lion and Mason picked out an aligator. They hugged their costumes the entire day. Then, about two weeks before Halloween they became deathly afraid of wearing their costumes. (They do still like to throw them on the floor and make a mess with them though.) Mason cries "bite, bite" everytime we try to put the costume on him. (The little aligator head has some felt teeth.)

So, we decided our Batman PJs would have to do this year. For our ward Halloween party the boys both agreed to wear their black dress shoes, which at least matched. Of course, on Halloween night Justin wanted his white sneakers and Mason wanted his fireman rain boots. It wasn't the most glamorous get up...but the boys were happy.

We trick-or-treated for about 20 minutes total. At the first house we were very confused about the process. The boys wanted to keep ringing the doorbell (they are obsessed with buttons) and then ran into the house as soon as the door was opened. Then, they got the hang of the process and did much better. Except, their vision seemed to fail as soon as they saw the candy bowl. At 1/2 the houses we went to, both guys would trip right over the doorway the instant the candy dish appeared. It was hilarious!!!

We had a great Halloween and we are glad we had great friends to share it with!

How fun! Isn't that how it goes though, you buy them the costume they want, and a day before Halloween they change their mind...nice ;) They are still super cute though, you should've done the duck tape diaper look, there is always next year! :)

Looks like you had a good time. You and the boys looked very cool in your costumes. Hey, the Goonies Rocks are so cool, I would love to see those someday, I LOVE that movie!
