Halloween 08

Here is my pirate & Mickey Mouse! The pirate wore Crocs because I knew he would be in and out of bounce houses all night long. It is easier to put on than tennis shoes. :)



I was very fortunate this year and didn't have to buy any costumes! How, you ask? John David was Mickey in '05 so it was only natural that Drew would become Mickey. Our wonderful friend, Adrian, gives us tons of boys clothes all of the time which included a pirate costume months ago. (John David wants to grow up to be a pirate!) For a month, John David wanted to a be a doctor like last year. Finally he changed his mind to be a pirate. This past week I bought him an eye patch and hook to complete the costume. On Friday night, John David didn't wanted the eye patch but wanted to take the hook (renamed a "sword") without the cup. The cup made it look more like the character "Captain Hook".

Here is Drew playing with a skeleton-Jack.

We went to FBC Grapevine's Trunk or Treat. John David loved the bounce houses, went to a few trunks before eating dinner and playing a few games. He went to more bounce houses and games before we headed home.

Drew had a fun time and not too sure what to think about everything. Drew ate a snickers while walking around to different trunks. He didn't know what to do with the opened candy at first but after much convincing he started to eat it and didn't want to stop. We only carried one bucket for both kids because we don't need two buckets full of candy.
Drew was great to hold my hand but always wanted a piece of candy to carry, too. He finally figured out that if he put the candy in the bucket, he would get another piece of candy! :)
