Megan originally said that she wanted to be Sleeping Beauty for Halloween this year and so we were gifted a beautiful hand me down costume. After trying it on, I think she decided it was too itchy and decided to go with the old standby: Rapunzel. I had the idea to dress Joshua as a biker and was looking to purchase a costume but online they were around $40 - way more than I wanted to spend. Fortunately the Pass it On Sale was coming up and I kept an eye out for things that might fit the look. Miraculously I found a "leather" jacket, went to look for black jeans, found them, needed black shoes, found them, wondered if they made white "wife beater" tank tops for toddlers and found them at Walmart. I think those were the most expensive single item but overall it only cost about $20 and he looked so adorable. That is why you'll see I took pictures of him from just about every angle! We applied some make up to his chin to give him a tough lookin goatee and he was perfect!! Everyone commented on how cute he was.
Joshua did pretty well for about half of the night. He was able to hold off on eating candy and was satisfied with just looking to see what he was given each time. Eventually the urge overtook him and we basically had to give him candy to entice him to keep walking. He was good about saying "Trick or Treat" most of the night but towards the end, he was just saying, "More candy!" He also figured out that when he was given candy and put on his cutest face and said, "More?" that most houses didn't refuse. He worked it.
Daddy and Megan sat down to sort the loot and he and I were pleasantly surprised at how much chocolate there was! Usually the majority is made up of the sugary sweet tart type of stuff. Mom and Dad need some chocolate and we got it! They got a ton of candy including 2 full size candy bars!
The kids had a great time. Joshua was high on sugar by the time we were done, so I'm hoping he has a major sugar crash and sleeps AT LEAST until the sun is up!
