Will was Flash, Luke was Darth Vader (a last minute decision), and Ellie was a pumpkin. Chase was also Darth Vader and Sutton was a ladybug. Rylan was Donatello (the purple Ninja Turtle) and Carter was a Lego Guy.
We layered the boys up under their costumes to try to keep them warm.
A family photo.
The kids raced from house to house. We kept having to holler at them to slow down! A little over half the houses on Missy's loop had people home and handing out candy.
A gray cat (see the right corner of the picture below) followed us around most of the night. It kept darting in front of people and got stepped on several times. We convinced ourselves it was gray too instead of black (don't need any bad luck!).
Rylan eventually got cold enough that he wore one of Brian's hats. I thought he looked like a tougher ninja in the hat than with the turtle mask. We also ended up carrying most of his costume (his mask, shell, and bo staff).
Notice how Carter's Lego head spun around a little so his eyes don't match up?
He ran around like crazy for awhile but when we were about 2/3rds done, he fell a couple of times. He landed forward and wasn't able to catch himself. He was then stuck and needed help up. After the second or third fall, he wanted someone to walk him around.
Once we finished trick-or-treating, we stuck around Missy's house for another hour or so playing before heading home. The boys had lots of fun and scored lots of good candy. However, they aren't big fans of chocolate and that's what they mostly got. At least there is very little asking for candy. They may have had one piece today.
