Happy Halloween! Or, as I like to refer to it, happy day before you can start listening to Christmas music without people thinking you're totally crazy! You might still think I'm crazy, but it's my favorite time of the year and I intend to maximize it. I think that two months is still not enough time to really enjoy the music...but I digress...
This year we had grand plans of taking the kids out trick or treating with another couple from our small group and their kids (Olivia and Kingston--Olivia is pretty much Logan's "best-iest friend"). We've been planning for weeks and this afternoon when the rain hit I had to prepare Logan (and myself) for a possible change in plan.
We went to chick-fil-a for a free dinner and then hoped for a quick weather change that never happened. It was cold. And rainy. And just kind of gross all around. The most disappointing part for Logan was the inability to wear her light up Tinkerbell shoes, as she had to wear her rain boots to keep her little feet warm and dry. I thought the boots added a nice whimsical touch, though.
Me? I had plans to get some sweet pictures of the girls doing their thing and really document Logan's first experience with trick-or-treating. Instead, I ended up sending Mike out in the rain with her while I stayed in with this little guy:
He's just getting over a bad cold and we thought it best not to expose him to the elements.
We did the whole themed look for the kids this year. I know there won't be many years where I get to decide what everyone wears so I'm enjoying the coordinating powers while I have them. Have you seen a cuter Tink and Pan? I haven't!
Logan knew she wanted to be Tinkerbell this summer so we picked her costume up when they had the semi-annual sale at the Disney Store. Peter Pan was just a natural fit for Brody! I made the costume for him this week and am just thrilled with the way it turned out, he made it shine.
The best part about trick-or-treating with a two year old? Raiding her candy bucket knowing she'll have no idea what went missing in the morning. Next year we may not be so lucky.

I thought about doing 'Peter Pan' with my kids too! Just didn't plan ahead. Kristen wanted to be Wendy and James would have been Michael. Peter, of course, would have been Peter Pan. :-) Glad you did it though!
