Last night we had a lot of fun. The boys were both Ninja Turtles. We made the costumes- and on that note, there is a serious lack of home-made costumes anymore. Anyway, there was some serious cuteness and awsomeness happening here. After each house Owen would announce, "Just ONE more house and that's IT!" and then we'd go on and he'd say it again, and again. Liam was so so proud of his costume that he was more concerned with how many people liked his costume than he was with the candy. He made my costume as well. I wore a pumpkin headband he made at school and carried a toy hammer and a toy telescope. When I asked him what I was supposed to be he said, "Just anything you want, Mom." I love that kid.
We live on a really great street. There are lots of families and people seem to be genuinely excited to see the kids come around. I guess it's a good measure of time. Each year the kids are bigger and interact more. The evolution of the costumes is fun to see too. The little boy that was Thomas the Train two years ago and a member of Lightning McQueen's pit crew last year has graduated to being a crime fighting amphibian. It won't be long before he wants to be some ghoulish figure or a mo-hawked punk rocker. I'll miss the cute stuff then.
We made it around the cul-de-sac, filled our "pumpkin baggie-bags", and headed home to spread the loot over the kitchen floor and lay in it.
