Halloween 2009

Since dress up is a big thing around here, I knew Halloween would be a ton of fun this year. I was so excited about the boys costumes, and they were too...well except for Carter...but he warmed up to the idea. The first three times I put Carters head piece on he worked with all his might to tear it off until he found success...very funny to watch. Our tradition each year is to trick-or-treat at my parents house and then around their neighborhood before heading to Chuck E. Cheese with our church. We take over the place each year, and it's really fun. Competition is always big, and the kids have so much fun they all but forget about the candy.

Here are some pictures ... lots of pictures ... from this year's Halloween fun.

The Knight, The Pirate, and The Little Green Monster.


I LOVE this picture that so accurately shows how little Caden is.... and how independent and BIG he wants to be.


You might remember the story from a while back where my dad had the conversation with Carson about him wanting to be a knight for Halloween....well, when we showed up to trick-or-treat at my parents house, we found out that he followed through...


Day & Knight:




We tried to explain to Carson that knights don't traditionally wear their eye/face guards down as chin guards, but there was no convincing him. :)




AAARGGGGHHHH!


Caden is such a cute little pirate....this is his serious face.












He was excited about something....probably pumpkins....




The gorgeous sunset as we were heading back to the car:
