I love Halloween. As as kid who doesn't love trick or treating--right? But as an adult I love decorating for Halloween, I love making caramel apples, I love eating a warm soup on Halloween night, and I love more than anything taking Crew Trick or Treating.
This year I asked Crew what he wanted to be for Halloween. His response was "a semi-truck". So I made him a semi-truck costume. But of course he wanted nothing to do with it. He was not going to wear it. Strike one. Then I tried a dinosaur costume. Crew's response "don't like it". Strike two. Then I thought he likes pirates. So we tried a pirate costume. Same thing. Strike three. On Halloween afternoon I wasn't sure if I was going to get Crew to wear a costume at all.
But, when he woke up from his nap I was determined. I got a fruit snack and some candy and bribed him to put on a boxer costume. Finally! He actually wore something--and he looked so cute in it.
We met up with Adam at his work for some early "cubical" trick or treating. Crew loved it and quickly caught on to the concept of it all. Then we came home, ate dinner, and headed out for some real Halloween Trick or Treating. Adam stayed home and passed out the candy.
Adam taught Crew to say "I'm gonna bust you up"-- appropriate for a boxer to say. Adam would prompt Crew to say it. It was pretty funny.
Hope you had fun Trick or Treating.
Happy Halloween
Costume strike #1
Don't let the picture deceive you. He wore it for .2 seconds and didn't put it on again.
Getting Ready
Let the Trick or Treating begin!
Eating some of his candy--he earned it.
Our home was decorated for Halloween this year. In fact, it has been decorated since the beginning of September. I am sad to take it down.

I love that "it's all about the boots" picture! And Crew is so cute...in any costume. Speaking of which, how in the world did you have four costumes on hand?
