Halloween

Well I hadn't planned on going trick or treating this year, but then one of my friends from mothers group invited us to go out with them and it sounded like a good opportunity to learn the ropes.  I'm glad we did cause Lexie had a blast.

We went out this morning to try and find some costumes - a bit last minute but we were lucky and found a couple of really really really cute costumes in the right sizes.  Lexie's was a lobster and Josh had to chose between a ducky and a monster - I figured monster was more appropriate for Josh so went with that one.  Here are a few piccies of them trying on their costumes this afternoon.

Unfortunately I didn't remember to take my camera with me to Maria's so don't have any shots of them actually trick or treating .

Lexie had a blast - first she took charge of the bowl of lollies at Maria's house and every time someone came to the door she was there handing out treats, then when we went out she was first one up to the door - ringing the doorbell then standing there with her little bag ready.  It was pretty adorable.

Josh had a good time too - in his own way - he wasn't interested in putting any lollies in his bag but where he was allowed to pick out his own he happily grabbed them - then wouldn't let go.  He ended up with one Peanut butter cup which he just chewed on (through the packaging) all night.  Which was cute till I went to get him out of the car when we got home and found that he'd chewed through the packaging and had chocolate EVERYWHERE......trust my boy!
