For the evening, we ordered pizza, carved our pumpkin finally and handed out candy. Taedon dressed up as a pirate and Niko was his parrot and they helped us hand out the candy. Taedon kept trying to give the kids whatever was in his hand at the time they showed up. One time he had the lighter for the candle (it looked like he was trying to light them on fire or something) and another he had a cup and confused a poor little kid by holding the cup out until the hesitant little boy, dressed up as a cop, finally stuck his hand in the cup with a look of what will happen if I do this on his face. I reassured him nothing would happen and that Taedon was just confused on what he was supposed to be doing.
During the day he got to wear his skeleton shirt that glows in the dark.
The costumes! Niko, you are always such a good sport with my ideas. It was hard to get both to stand still and actually look in my direction. This was the best one we got.
This picture more accurately reflects how they both felt about their outfits.
Niko has done this enough now that he knows the drill. If you just sit still and look at the camera so she can get her picture, she will let you take it off quicker.
Dontae hard at work creating our "ghost" pumpkin.
The end result. He did a great job! Here is our pumpkin family from the pumpkin patch. We each picked out one to represent each of us. I forgot to get one for Niko. Ooops, sorry dog!
Keeping busy while we wait for trick or treaters to show up.
We had to shut down candy operations once Taedon went to bed around 8 p.m. so we ended up with a lot of candy leftover. Guess I will have a nice stash to eat after baby comes in January. That is if it doesn't get eaten before then by other people!
