What’s That You Say? It’s November??

Then I guess I should probably stop slacking and post our Halloween pictures.  I wasn’t planning on having Scott and me dress up.  Adam knew exactly what he wanted to be and so I threw the idea of a “family theme” out the window; until Wednesday morning.  I was lying in bed thinking about Adam and Jane’s costumes, trying to come up with a theme, and then it came to me.  See if you can figure it out.  Adam had been reading a book about someone who puts on a bunny costume for Easter and was determined to be a bunny.  Luckily a friend had a costume in his exact size: When Jane was still an infant a friend handed me a what seemed like a pile of satin and sequins and said, “Jane must wear this for Halloween.”  After examining it closer, I heartily agreed. 

I can’t think of someone who could pull off a belly dancer costume better.

So, that’s what I had to work with while I was trying to think of costumes for Scott and I on the morning of our Trunk or Treat.  And here’s what I came up with:

I am a magician, Adam is my rabbit, Scott is my deck of cards.   And Jane?  Jane is my lovely assistant.  And she was lovely indeed.

So we did the Trunk or Treat on Wednesday.  Adam loved the candy walk.  Unfortunately his ears kept falling in his face, nevertheless, he persevered.

It was fun to see all of the other costumes.  This cute little pirate  is about 2 1/2 months older than Jane and about 1/2 her size.  You may remember her from before:

Adam and his cousin went Trick or Treating on Saturday.  Adam had the routine down this year and said his “trick or treat” and “thank you” perfectly.  He even threw in a “happy Halloween” occasionally.  My favorite moment was when we came to a house where they were handing out pencils instead of candy.

Adam examined it and, on determining it wasn’t edible, said, “this is not a trick or treat”.     Smart kid, already separating the wheat from the chaffs.
