Trick-or-Treat

Aidan wanted to be a storm trooper, but as soon as we got to the store, he found this Wolverine costume. This is not unusual, as Aidan has, in the past, had 2 or 3 costumes for Halloween. (Only because EVERYONE buys him one) This was Gavin's first year to dress up, and he loved his Dragon costume. He wore it several times before the actual event, and I see potential for hours of costume play for both of them.

On the steps at the library
Wolverine and the PunkRock Vampire, aka, Aidan and Duncan. I taught Aidan the saying "Trick-or-Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat" which absolutely cracked these two up. Aidan swore he was going to say it to everyone, but of course that only lasted for a few houses.

This cute little girl had the most awesome pink flamingo costume. I had to take a picture!

A little fall fun

It's that time of year again, the time when Aidan and Gavin get out the rakes and dive into the leaf pile(s). This year, Gavin started the fun while Aidan was at school, but he was in no way tired of it by the time Aidan got home :)

Ahhh.... there's a zombie buried in our yard!
Showing Gavin how to use a "lightsaber" Jedi master style. And boy, did this lesson catch on. Now, every time they are outside, Gavin copies every move Aidan makes, so it looks like little ninjas out there swinging there sticks.


Ok, I'll start the leaf pile.

Here we go!
