Happy Halloweeeeen!

Myles & Ollie had a great Halloween! First, we got a pumpkin! 

Then, we carved it. 

Then, Myles got to dress up for school. Weeks ago I asked Myles what he wanted to be and he replied, "A big green beetle." These are actually called fig beetles & they are all over Southern CA. They are iridescent green, large & clumsy & will fly right into your face. Myles had a love/hate relationship with them when we lived in CA. He wanted to look at them & learn about them, but when they would fly at his head, well, he was none too pleased. We nicknamed them "Nemesis." So, Myles chose to be his nemesis for Halloween. That kid loves bugs. We thought his choice was very cool. Then I remembered that I'd have to make it. There were also rules - it had to be comfy enough that he could wear it from 8am - 1pm at school as they sent home a flyer explaining that they would not be doing wardrobe changes. Tying my hands here, people. I did my best.

The GA/FL football game was also on Halloween, so before Trick or Treating in ATL, we had to show some school spirit. As cute as Myles looked, it didn't work. The DAWGS lost.

GO DAWGS!

Then we were off to ATL to trick or treat with cousins Wyatt & Alice!

Ollie was a viking (costume also courtesy of Mama.) He did NOT want to wear that helmet. I even fur lined it to make it comfy, but it was a no-go.

Quick, take the picture, he's got the helmet on!

 Myles LOVED trick or treating. This was the first year he "got" what it was all about. He realized if he said "trick or treat" and held out his bag, people gave him candy. It didn't even register with him that he may get to eat candy afterward. Something Greg & I took full advantage of.

Just had to add one more pic of this kid's face.
