Well, the makeup went OK, but, "No penk nose mommy!" "Daddy turn!" So he wanted the whiskers (and us to have them too, lol) but absolutely no pink on his nose. Too funny. Then we headed out, Little Buddy layered in long underwear, regular clothes and then the costume on top with winter coat in hand. The garage door opened and we were all hit with a blast of a forty something degree wind. Then the crying started ( I should mention that somebody had Halloween fever and refused to take a nap, sigh . . . ). After much convincing, we finally headed over to Guillermo's house, a fabulous neighbor of ours with 5 kiddos. Then we knocked and did the trick or treat thing and once Little Buddy saw a tiny bag of "M's" all was right in the world. On to the next house, and so on, and so on. It was so cold, in the 40's with lots of damp, raw wind gusts that blew right through you. The winter coat went on immediately. We made it up our block and then down the other side back when Little Buddy started to say, "Go home mommy!" No arguments here, home we went, and I was excited to give out candy to the kids! Uh, Houston, we have a problem, Little Buddy did NOT want to give out candy to the kids. He is really good at sharing for the most part, BUTTTTTTTTT, this was clearly our candy and what are you thinking mommy, giving our candy to all these other kids? So, that took some talking, and tears and more talking, then repeat several times. Then remember, no nap, hardly ate lunch, and poor little guy had wind burn too. Finally we got him to gobble up some mac and cheese, cucumber pieces and a few grapes too. Then we turned on the Winnie The Pooh tape mommy just unearthed from the bottom of the trunk. Ate a few candies. All was right in the world :)
But, what would trick or treating be in the Midwest be without cold damp weather and your winter coat covering your costume? Ahhhh, memories . . . . . .

Ha! Ya know, he did not want to go outside but then he would not go inside either. Ugh! We were standing in the garage and all the kids were walking by staring to see what all the crying was about. Oh boy, ain't parenthood/childhood grand? lol
Cute!
That first picture is SUPER cute!! I handed out a bunch of candy last night, and I love how confused the littlest kids are by the proceedings.
AW! Cute costume! :)
Cutie! Very scary lion!
For some reason Winnie the Pooh (or Winnie Pooh around here) is the movie of choice right now. Certainly better than other choices, but MY GOD! Can we watch something else. Please?!
Dori- Ha! Thankfully Winnie The Pooh is new for us. Though if I had to watch any more Chicken Little, Babe, or Caillou episodes I was going to scream. Amazing how often they can watch something over and over. We have been hanging around the house so much lately so we run out of stuff to do quickly.Have you guys ever watched the new Charlotte's Web? That is very cute and so very adult tolerable, actually having a story line and real people in it :)
too cute!40's thats freezing for us sissys in Cali!I miss when the kids were little and I could put cute costumes on them.
