We Go Batty For Halloween

What an amazing Halloween we had! Chase and Owen were the cutest little bats I've ever seen. They didn't seem to notice their costumes-even the hats and had such a fun time. Most of the pictures you see with them and the candy bowl involved throwing of candy, yelling, giggling and pure joy. That was the first time they'd seen a big bowl of candy and they just went nuts! They were digging in it and having a ball. The last picture of this post shows how I found them after they had had baths. The bown did end up on Owen's head at one point.

Grandma Sandy came over to Trick-or-Treat with us. We went out about 5:30-a little early, but it was cold here! The boys walked up to peoples' doors and even took candy from people, even though they didn't know what they were taking. It was so fun to watch them walk up to the door holding their little pumpkin baskets. They had so much fun. We did too! We went to about 7 houses in our neighborhood. We came home and the boys had their first big Halloween treat-a big Tootsie Pop Sucker. Boy did they love that and feel special. There was a lot of slobber and sticky hands. I even let them have a bite of a chocolate candy bar. Boy did we have fun! I just loved to see my little boys dressed up in a cozy little bat costume with their big cheeks tightly packed into the hat! :)

This is sooooo fun

This is the end of the night-the boys had strewn candy all over the floor and when kids came to our door I had to pick candy up off the floor to give them. Real nice. :)

What little DOLLS!

Happy Belated Halloween!

Oh, Susie...Chase and Owen are so adorable! I love following your blog and seeing them grow up! I'd love to get together sometime when we are in MN or you guys are in Ames. Those bat outfits were adorable! Did you make them??
