What with Maia just getting over this sickness, and Parker wanting absolutely NOTHING to do with any costume I put on him... it wasn't looking like we were really going to participate much in any Halloween festivities. But apparently they both did great (and wore their costumes) at the school Halloween parade.
So after a quick (and soft) dinner... we got Maia dressed in her butterfly costume (yes, I know it was last year's but it was her request, because it's nice and warm!). And Parker was supposed to be the ducky, or maybe Elmo... but the boycott continued for me, so I put him in his fireman-ish rain coat, and plopped a fire hat on him. Into the wagon (where they wouldn't cooperate for pictures)
and out for a little walk around the neighborhood.
Maia knew exactly what to do, and Parker caught on fairly quickly.
In fact, after a few houses, it was hard to get him back in the wagon.
It was a brief jaunt - maybe 10 houses, but they still made enough of a haul that we'll have candy for months. Which is actually rather unfortunate, because Maia has a habit of becoming obsessed with candy after each of these candy-celebratory holidays. She's also adept at getting a chair to climb up to where she wants something, and a little sneaky. So it wasn't long before she'd wake me in the morning with a tootsie roll clenched in her sweaty fist. Look what I found, momma!
