Halloween

A few months ago (yes, months) Scott took the kids to Costco to buy their Halloween costumes. Truth be told, he'll look for any excuse to head to Costco. He could spend hours there, not to mention every bit of our savings.

After perusing the Halloween costume choices, Snow White and Red Ranger were the winning picks. Neither child had any trouble making their decision. There were several practice events, trying on their costumes, and rehearsing "trick-or-treat".

Both kids enjoyed wearing their costumes to school last week and looked forward to wearing them again for Halloween night and trick-or-treating. We had friends join us at our house before walking up to Queen Anne Avenue where all of the stores and restaurants passed out candy. The kids had a blast and their costumes were a hit. With all the Elsas walking around I think Snow White was an especially big hit, complete with her infectious and contagious smile. Hudson sported his mask for about 20 minutes and then decided life was better with it off.

Despite the signs that said "One piece per child, PLEASE",  Maddie left with handfuls and no one seemed to care. Hudson, being the picky eater he is, took the extra time required to make darn sure he got no chocolate in his stash.

It was a really fun Halloween and I look forward to the many left to come.

In this last pic, Hudson and Maddie sample their first "treat" of the night.
