We started hearing about Halloween and what Scotty wanted to be for Halloween in about March. Seriously, he had been talking about wanting to be a pirate for Halloween for soooo long. But before getting all dressed up on Halloween, we had to do some pumpkin carving. I found some Star Wars stencils online and we decided to try them out. Our first pumpkin was a total success. We were (still are) pretty proud. I think even Master Yoda himself would have been pleased!
After such good results with Yoda, we decided to try for Vader. I spent so long cutting the stencil and then tracing it onto the pumpkin. Scotty spent time cleaning the pumpkin out.
Then, we started cutting and soon realized that the Vader stencil was probably not meant for pumpkins. It just had too many little skinny places that were caving in almost as soon as we started cutting. At least Yoda worked out.
Derrick and I took the kids to the midnight madness Halloween event at Frys again this year but I failed to take pictures there. They had some fun games set up and trick or treating throughout the store.
But, Scotty still couldn't wait to get completely dressed up for the trunk or treat at the church. He was so excited to have me draw a pirate's beard on him.
AAAaaaarrrgggghhhhhh Matey!
Korbin is a little too young to have any preference of what he wanted to be for Halloween so we brought out the "Dino"/Dragon costume that Scotty wore for Halloween when he was 2.
There must be something crazy in that costume because it produced a very similar crying fit to this one we experienced when Scotty wore the costume.
We went to the trunk or treat at the church on Saturday the 30th. Scotty had a lot of fun and didn't care as much about how much candy he was getting as he did about seeing his friends and running around with them. Korbin had fun shoving candy in his mouth as fast as he could for as long as we would let him. His favorites were Tootsie Rolls. Since Halloween was on Sunday we didn't take the kids trick or treating but let Scotty hand out candy to the trick or treaters in our neighborhood. He had just as much fun and felt super important.
