Ahoy There Me Hearties!

The boys were invited to a Halloween party this past Saturday and had a really great time. Randy and I went costume shopping on Friday night (thanks mom and Tracy for babysitting so we could go on a date). Randy gave me a pretty strict budget but luckily the costumes I wanted were the cheapest ones anyway. The boys are obsessed with the Wiggles these days so I thought they would enjoy being "Captain Feathersword". Carson really took to his hat and wanted to wear it most of the day.

Micah wasn't as wild about his hat but once he saw Carson, it was a done deal. They were actually pretty eager to get their costumes on which was a relief.

We were all running in different directions on Saturday. Corbyn isn't in any of the pictures because she was invited to a different party and had already gone. She went as a soccer player. I think she was unsatisfied with her costume choice so we may be looking for something different for Wednesday. I'll post pictures of her after Wednesday.

The boys and I arrived at the party just in time for the "Trunk or Treat". They had a great time putting treats in their little pumpkins. Carson didn't want to carry his (there is one in every crowd). He wanted to eat his candy while we trunk-or-treated. The party is hosted every year by a friend of mine from school and she always does it big. There is a hayride, blow-up bouncy things, a bonfire, and a whole play area. We missed the hayride but the boys were fascinated by the bonfire. They wanted to "hold it". They accepted that it was too hot but then wanted to "blow it (to cool it)".

We left with a ton of candy and as soon as we got home the boys dug in. They had lots of M&Ms and snickers, lollies, and Skittles. I finally had to cut them off since it was already well past their bed time. Luckily, they were exhausted and the sugar didn't keep them awake.
