A smashing success! Mom got the mermaid costume made and Evan fit into the pirate costume. The kids and I made our way over to our good friends Nancy and Gideon's house for their crazy fun party! Monster music as you walked in (plus the added bonus of a photographer to snap our unsullied looks!) TONS of goulishly delicious treats and fun, fun, fun for the kids. We had some dinner and then in a group of about 20-30 kids (yeah, there was alot!) did the neighborhood. The nice thing is that it is flat (a rarety out here), safe, and interesting. Interesting you say? Yes, interesting. There is one particular house that gives stuffed animals instead of candy. Apparently the guy has been doing this for 35+ years. He goes to garage sales, people donate to him throughout the year etc. You walk in and the entry, kitchen and living room are FILLED with stuffed animals big and small. Evan honed right in on a monkey with a shiny nose - all the better to bite on. Kiira went for the fluffiest chick she could find. About half as big as she is!
Evan was a trooper. He insisted on walking/running along behind the mob and ran right up to the door when trick or treat needed to be declared (including running up steps much to mom's dismay...). He wasn't very interested in the candy i found out, he just wanted to be part of the group. If he was the last to go up to the door, he'd just turn around and follow the kids back out before getting the candy. TOO funny. My costume - well, Charleston Cutie was the title on the package. Not my norm but what the heck - was fun to break out of my normal ladybug costume.
Enjoy the picts - Happy Halloween everyone.

Okay, Kiira's handmade costume is beutiful, of course, but Evan looks TOO adorable with his pirate mustache! When did he grow another foot?
