Halloween 2010

This year's Halloween was not our finest. First, I was a bad mommy and made a bad choice of costume. Noah had been all about Mickey Mouse for much of the summer through the end of September when Grandma Jean bought him a Mickey Mouse costume, after which point Noah promptly lost all interest in Mickey Mouse. Grandma Jean bought it in a size 3T because I told her to. The costume was WAY WAY WAY too small, and Noah wouldn't have wanted to wear it even if it fit. So for most of the night he refused to wear his costume. Honestly, I was happy I could get him into his skull shirt.

We went to Sophia's house, along with most of the other daycare families. Sophia and Noah were clearly on the same wave length because she too refused to wear her costume. Now, David had made Sophia's costume from scratch. Designed it, spent hours sewing it, created a frame for it... so it was unfortunate that she was so opposed to wearing it.



But in the end the lure of Trick-or-Treating won out. After the other kids all left, Gretta and I took Sophia and Noah sans costumes out to see the decorations at some of the houses, and they both realized what they were missing out on. So back to the house we went so they could change into their costume and we did a limited trick-or-treat outing.

In this picture you can see how truly cool Sophia's costume is, and how truly too small Noah's is. Oh well, better luck next year!
