Costumes! A talented friend let us borrow the dragon costume she made for her son last year. I was impressed that Owen stuck with the same thing all month instead of vacillating every week. He was very good at breathing fire, and the warm fleece was a blessing on the chilly night!
Since she didn't have an opinion, Hadley reused Owen's monkey costume! I stuck a bow on the ear and called it good. :) Another warm costume that would have been perfect, if she wasn't sick on Halloween. She did have a few other opportunities to wear it though, and even won a costume contest at the gym for a free smoothie.
What a pair! Side note, there is a banana sewn into the pocket of the monkey. Hadley has picked up that word this month ("na-na"), so it was perfect. She also know that you are supposed to say "cheese" when having your picture taken, but she can't say that yet, so it just sounds (and looks) like yelling. :)
Now you can see the bow. This was post-contest when she fell asleep in the car. It's tough being that cute! Also, the beginning of a cold makes you tired...
Trick-or-treating: Owen told me that was his favorite part of Halloween. Like there's any other part! Though he was super excited and ran with the big kids from door to door, he seemed to get stage fright once the door was open. I only heard a couple of "Trick or treat!"s and "thank you"s despite discussing it during most of the walk... But he had a great time!
Oh, and here are our pumpkin designs for the year. I traced the one on the left and Owen designed the one on the right, complete with one pirate eye!
