"What is Cameron going to be for Halloween?" is a very common question these days. I'm not sure why there was any doubt, she wore princess dresses the entire week before. On this day it seemed like she was holding court while in Music class. I really wanted to dress Riley and Cameron in a theme like I tried last year, but that ended up being a bust, since Cameron refused to be Lil' Bo-Peep and Riley was a lonely little lamb. I figured that was unlikely again this year as I couldn't really find a costume that seemed to be a good match without making Riley a lame prince charming.... :-)
During the last week as Mommy struggled to think about what Riley would be, we went out and explored more Pumpkin patches. Riley really enjoyed picking out his pumpkins although he was pretty adamant that he needed an assortment instead of just one. Tim and Turtle helped him narrow it down to one small, one big, and one in-between.
As the day approached and I was no closer to choosing a costume, Turtle decided he would help. He put together a Dopey costume for Riley. He made the hat, modified a t-shirt with buttons and a belt, and made elf shoe covers for his shoes. Riley was soooooo adorable I could hardly stand it. On the big night each time they went to the door together the neighbors would all say "OMG that is sooo cute!!" Turtle was so awesome!!!
Hannah joined the kids on the trick-or-treat outing and Riley was kind enough to always select Snickers (mommy's favorite) whenever he was allowed to choose. This year our street was closed off because of the crowds that come to see the Tims and our decorations. We had lots of new decorations which included a remote control ghoul that Riley loved firing off and scaring the people on the street. This year we got more than 1000 trick-or-treaters (we bought about ~5000 pieces of candy and we handed out limit of 2/visitor with a few exceptions for people we know). It was crazy.
As usual PJ got to clean up. He finished all the pumpkins that were not destroyed by the late-night trick-or-treaters. This is his favorite part.
