Halloween

Now which cutie is under that hat?

oh there he is

sorry these ones were taken by my phone

but still thought they were too cute not to share

 

Firetruck and all

Mommy was excited to find this cute little jacket

at our local goodwill for $2.99. 

Do you remember these boots Aunt Rachel?

They are still a little too big to wear 

but we worked it for this special occasion.

Here is Mr. Construction worker 

 The neighborhood we live in still has new construction going 

and the boys are fascinated with all the diggers and equipment. 

Even on the way to and from preschool 

the boys point out all the big trucks and diggers they see along the way

and are disappointed when they can't find more. 

While we did make this costume we totally stole the

whole idea from our friend Cassie who did this costume

a couple years ago.

After we saw Cassie's costume, we also found out my friend Jamie

also did something similar for her son last year and turned out

awesome so we were even more inspired to try it for Alex too. 

Cassie's putting together a whole blog of wheel chair

costume ideas which are becoming incredibly popular!

She is unbelievably talented as are many of the other

mommas you will see!

(you can check out her blog here).  

 I am not a creative person naturally but I think it turned out

great and Alex loved it.

Here's hoping we didn't raise the bar too high

for future Halloweens though. 

The digger made an awesome spot to

collect candy--which made little man

quite happy :)

Halloween Night:

Momma knows how to work the duct tape

(added it to plan black pants to match the jacket)

You wouldn't believe it but we didn't even plan the fire department theme 

with our cutie friends. Their momma found a great deal on costumes too and went with it :)

We are a well protected neighborhood!!

Even our friend Abby got into the spirit!

Getting candy is serious business

hmmm.....

what to choose, what to choose...

Ended the night on a "sweet" note 

and a surprise from their Grandma and Grandpa!!!

You can't tell it here but Nicholas was just as excited,

just starting to fade....
