Halloween Costumes

Conor/Luke Skywalker
Josie Bumblebee
Halloween at our house this year was great fun, we had a bumblebee and Luke Skywalker to keep us safe. Josie loved trick or treating. At the first house Josie just kept going back for more candy, then she saw their dog and dropped all the candy and we had to drag her away, the 2nd house she tried to give them candy from the last house, and when they declined, she decided to take a few extra from them. The next couple houses she had it figured out and she took as much as she could in the first offer and then would try to sneak into the house if she could see or hear a dog in the back. She is fascinated with dog's since we don't have one. Fortunately the neighbors all have one so she can get her fill from them. We trick or treated in the neighborhood and then Dad and Josie went home and Conor and I went and met a friend in their neighborhood and trick or treated some more. It is incredible how much candy he hauled in. At first it was hard to resist, but he is getting to where he will choose a treat after meals now. I guess he realized he didn't need to eat it all at once. All though the good chocolate mysteriously disapears if he doesn't get to it first? Hmmm...

I'm with you on stealing the chocolate. Your kids looked cute! It's so fun having one that is just learning how trick or treating works.

That's so funny about the dogs. My kids are the opposite. I had to force them to the door if they could hear a dog inside.

Josie is the cutest bumblebee ever and Conor could give Luke Skywalker a run for his money!

We had a Bee and Anakin too. I would like to see a poll on how many 5 year old boys were a jedi this year. They look so cute! I love Josie's eyebrows.

My boys were jealous of the lightsaber...
