Halloween

In years past, CCR has just been a little too young to dress him up for Halloween. This year, we figured it would be cute to dress them up as Pebbles and Bamm Bamm. TMR actually looks a lot like Pebbles (I discovered that messing with her hair one day) so I figured we should dress them up like those two characters before she got much older. So please enjoy the pictures of CCR and TMR dressed up for Halloween...


Mimi came over to see the kiddos dressed up. Thank you for bringing raisins for CCR to munch on instead of candy!


TMR has been mobile for about a week now, and she's on a mission...constantly. I feel like I'm chasing her around trying to merely capture her face...

A look at the entire outfit...


More raisins...we were pleasantly surprised that he wasn't bothered by no shirt and a sash. I used an old pair of khakis for his shorts, and he was very upset when he saw me cutting them up. We were a bit skeptical that this costume wouldn't work out, but he wore it for about two hours without any complaints...whew!


TMR hanging out...



Since CCR is so young and TMR isn't walking yet, we took them up and down the street in the wagon. It worked out really well but still have CCR a chance to get out and ring the doorbell/knock on the door.


This was TMR's first time in the wagon. Now they she's able to sit up for extended periods of time in a moving wagon, I think we'll be taking trips around the neighborhood more often.



While out "trick or treating" a motorcycle passed by. The rider was wearing a scary skeleton mask which was pretty cool. CCR loves motorcycles so he really enjoyed waving at the rider who was going very slowly so he could wave at the kiddos.


Holding on to a very sacred M&M...he finally ate it, but he held on to it for quite some time before that.


Yes, we let the kiddos eat some of the candy this evening. Can you see the chocolate around CCR's mouth and the drippings on his shorts...thankfully he was still exhausted after bath time!


Can you see the dribblings of a tootsie roll down the front of TMR's shirt...she thoroughly enjoyed it!


TMR was thankful to have Mimi there to hold her while drinking her bottle. Thanks Mimi for taking time out to join us for our very brief Halloween celebration!

I'm so glad that I took the time to put costumes together. Since I knew these would be one-timer costumes, I just used random clothes that were either too small or hand-me-downs (both baby and maternity clothes). I only had to buy the iron-on adhesive for the black fabric. It was fun...we'll have to brainstorm what they'll be next year...we hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Halloween!
