Halloween Again!

This year Brayden really wanted to be Harry Potter. He's reading the first book, and so he was really excited to dress up as Harry.

Conner, wanting to do pretty much everything that his big brother does, wanted to be someone from the Harry Potter books/movies too. First is was Ron, but I couldn't figure out what Ron would look like so that it would be different from Brayden's costume. Then I convinced him to choose something else, so he chose Hagrid. Another problematic choice. All the Hagrid costumes were for adults since Hagrid is so big anyways, and I couldn't figure out how to pull off the bushy wig and beard when he wasn't allowed to wear masks and stuff to school. So that is how we finally settled on Harry Potter in his Quidditch robes. The costume even came with a Golden Snitch! 

 As I was trying to figure out what Landon should be, my sister offered to let me borrow this costume that my mom made for my niece last year. It was so dang cute!! I thought for SURE he wouldn't keep the head part on for long, so we put his costume on at the last minute and ran outside to take pictures. I was yelling at everyone to hurry outside so we could get at least a few good ones of Landon before he started flipping out and tearing the hood off. I was completely shocked when he didn't touch it once. In fact, he left it on and didn't touch it for over 3 hours. He lasted through all the pictures, driving in the car, and trunk or treating at the church. It wasn't until he was tired and wanting to go home and go to bed that he finally started pulling on it. There was only 1 ribbon casualty due to his decision to be done with the head part, but that can easily be fixed!

 The 3 kiddo's all ready to go trunk or treating!!!!

Seriously... I couldn't stop taking pictures of Landon in his lion costume... it was just to dang cute!! This one you can see the cute little tail in the back.

 Those chunky cheeks... you just have to give them a big kiss!

See... I couldn't stop taking his picture... I probably have at least15 more that I spared you all and didn't post.

He just sat in his stroller the whole time while we walked around the church parking lot to trunk or treat.

The boys got SO MUCH candy!! Brayden counted his candy once we got home and had over 115 pieces, that didn't count the ones he ate in the car or that he shared with his mom and dad!  :)

We will be on candy overload for a while!

Once we got home... Patrick dared Brayden to eat a Warhead and keep it in his mouth for at least 30 seconds. It was pretty funny. Brayden's face puckered up and tears were in his eyes, and he was laughing so hard. He did it though! I don't think I could... I hate that kind of sour candy!

Hope everyone had a great and fun Halloween! We most definitely did!
