Featuring Julius Caesar and The Little Mermaid!
You may ask where I got my inspiration for the Julius costume, because you know Jack didn't pick this costume. It really was my cousins idea at a family party. I thought it was perfect for our little guy, and boy did he pull it off. He was the star at his preschool Halloween party. The homemade costumes always seem to outshine the store bought ones!
Emmi wanted to be a mermaid and when she has made up her mind on something, it is a done deal. No negotiating at all. I kept trying to sway her into being a Greek Princess, but that was a no go. She adored her costume and thought she was the most beautiful mermaid ever!
I will never forget this Halloween. It was the most warm beautiful evening I can ever remember having. The kids left the house with no coats and had no need for them the entire night. Jack was absolutley hilarious at each house. He would strike conversation up with everyone and then contemplated his candy choice seriously. We had to pry him away from every door. Emmi was biting at the bit and just wanted to run from house to house to get the most candy. Wow did she score.
The streets were like it was when I was a kid. Just swarms of kids up and down the streets. We had probably at least over a 100 trick or treaters. It was so amazing.
We had dinner at our house and my parents stayed at our house to hand out candy while Brian and I took the kids out trick or treating. I was only going to go a few houses, but I loved seeing the kids get so excited I kept going. We finally trekked it home once Emmi announced she had a potty emergency and couldn't hold it any longer.
What a fun night to remember forever!
P.S. just realized I never got a picture of the kids with all their loot. Maybe it was because we confiscated the candy so fast they never had time to chow or really see what they had. How nice of us!
