Grace was Violet from "The Incredibles." Her second year as a superhero and not a princess. I love that kid. Sam was a pirate. Begrudgingly...but a pirate all the same. Once he figured out the equation of costume + bucket + big smile = CANDY, he decided the costume wasn't so bad after all.
Paw-paw flew in to help us celebrate. He said the visit had everything to do with the kids and absolutely nothing to do with the candy...
Apparently pirates like to ride in wagons and eat candy. Who knew?
Earl. Official wagon puller. Isn't he cute?!
All the neighborhood kids. Okay, well not all of them. But most of them. Two things to point out:
Notice the little girl standing to the left of Grace...that's Dakota. She's 4. She wanted to be Medusa for Halloween. I sewed over a dozen plastic snakes to a Barbie wig for her costume. They don't make Medusa wigs for 4 year olds....only Barbie and princess wigs. That's a shame.
And the sad little Buzz Lightyear in the foreground? That's Ayden. He's one of my most favorite children. And I don't really like children. He was a bit overwhelmed with all the costumes and candy and cameras...
This last picture isn't a Halloween picture. Just a sweet picture I took the weekend Paw-paw was here. These two are cut from the same cloth. And Sam is content to just snuggle up to his Paw-paw and watch the world go by....
It was a good weekend that resulted in a boatload of candy. I sent most of it to work with Earl...of course that was after I sorted out all the "good" chocolate and hid it. If you are really really really nice to me, I might tell you where...but probably not.
