Trick or Treat

This Halloween, we have participated in more Halloween themed events since the boys are getting older. We went to Family Fun Night at Brady's daycare and we went to a Montessori Costume Party for Connor's school. They both enjoyed seeing their friends from school. Connor was really excited to see some friends that he hadn't seen in a couple months (since he changed schools).

For costumes, I purchased a train conductor costume for Connor since he is crazy about trains. I was having a hard time finding one for Brady, so I ended up ordering a Bat costume online. However, once it arrived, Brady and Connor decided to trade costumes. Okay - this will work, no biggee that one is a little small for Connor and the other is a little big for Brady.

Our first costumed event was the Montessori Costume Party. Connor was so excited to dress up, while Brady refused. I threw a hat on Brady and decided he could go as Brady. At the last minute, I gave Brady the option to wear the train costume or go as Elmo (Elmo Sweatshirt, Elmo hat, we're done) in hopes that he would choose one. He chose Elmo - good job Brady!

For Halloween night, we started out at Brady's Halloween Party at school and then went to pick up Connor early. Connor was really excited to show Brady around Montessori. Afterwards, we met up with daddy and started our evening of trick-or-treating. We went to Gma Darla's for a little bit and went through her neighborhood. We then went to Mimi's for dinner and trick-or-treating in her neighborhood. Before we had a chance to head home to our neighborhood, the cousins showed up at Mimi's and the kids had a blast playing together. This year, we skipped our neighborhood yet again and we missed all the trick or treaters. That's okay since the boys had a blast and still ended up with full buckets!
