Trick or Treat

We made our rounds begging for candy from strangers last night. Hahaha! I LOVE HALLOWEEN! I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I do! The boys had a good time. Bodie was a billy goat. This has been the first Halloween costume for each of the boys. Jack was supposed to be a pirate, but he saw his spider costume from last year and out went the pirate idea. He also wore the spider costume everyday for the past 2 weeks. Ty was supposed to be Elmo. (the hand me down costume from Jack at age 2) Every time we asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween he told us "Garbage truck man". So I played along and got one of Tom's old reflective vests that he'd wear when riding his motorcycle, to make a little garbage man costume but Ty would never wear it. So for a little while he jumped back on the Elmo band wagon.....until it was time to put on the costume! Hahaha! He freaked and begged for the bat costume that he wore last year. Of course this melt down was after he got to skip his nap and go to the movies for the first time with Tom and Jack. He was pretty sleepy, but was definitely NOT putting on Elmo. :-) After a little chaos we got everyone ready and I headed out the door with the big boys in a wagon and Bodie and Tom stayed at the house on candy duty. The boys lasted about 2 1/2 cul-de-sacs, then I heard, "where's our house?" a few times and that was it. :-) It was a great Halloween!
