Happy Halloween!

Whew! Today was a busy busy busy day.

First thing this morning (6:15 am), Isaac, a good friend of Grant's came over. Isaac's little brother was going in to get tubes put in his ears (everything went great!). Then at about 930, Emmitt, another friend of Grant's, came over so that we could head to the YMCA for their Gym/Swim class. (It was my first car pooling experience and I am happy to report that all went well. Although I will be glad when I don't have to work with a car seat and 3 booster seats!) After 2 hours of running and swimming, we headed home, dropped off Emmitt, and had lunch and naps. Then, promptly at 6:00, we headed out the door to begin Trick or Treating.

Grant dressed up at Batman and Beckett wore Grant's fireman costume from last year. I had wanted to put together a Robin costume for Beckett, but sadly, it just didn't happen.

Beckett was a real trooper. He lasted with Grant until about 7:15 and then Grant and I dropped him off with Roger and we finished out the neighborhood...mostly...and trick or treated until 8:00. Grant was absolutely wiped at the end of it, tripping over the cracks in the sidewalk on the way home.

 Grant showing off his fierceness as Batman. Not sure where the hip action came from, but as you will see in future pictures, it seems to be his new thing.

 Beckett the fireman. Poor kid, the costume was WAY to big on him.

 All ready to go, standing by their pumpkins. We didn't get around to carving this year...these are the ones that they painted at a class we went to while Cap and Macie were in town.

 Trick or Treat! Some of the steps were SO big...Beckett really had to work to get to the door.

 May need to reevaluate the bag for next year too...Beckett kept dragging it on the ground.

"We got some more candy!"

My favorite lines from the night:

Beckett runs up first...

B - Mommy I got pretzels!

Grant runs up next...

G - Mom, all they had was pretzels.

Oh how things change in 2 years. :-)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
