Halloween

This year Halloween was a blast and like other recent events, Ethan's greater understanding of the holiday made it so much more exciting for him and for us. This year, Ethan dressed up as none other than his current favorite star, Curious George. The morning started off with a fun parade at his pre-school. Ethan was a little shell-shocked when he walked out of the classroom into the back playground to see a crowd of about 100+ eager parents watching. He started to panic at first calling for me, but once he spotted me in the crowd he seemed a bit more at ease and followed the class.

After school we came home to get ready for the big event. Ethan couldn't wait to get into his costume and thankfully the heat subsided a bit or else he would have roasted in his costume.

Eli also got into the action dressing up as a baby, I know it was a stretch but he was a dead ringer! He came along trick-or-treating in the bjorn and slept through the whole thing. It won't be long before he will be tagging along with the big kids running from house to house. The adults could barely keep up with the kids they were so excited.

When we got home Ethan was so eager to examine his candy and ohhed and ahhed over each piece, even though he had no idea what kind of candy it was. All he cared about was that he got candy and to him life was good. Poor Eli looks so sad in this picture, almost as if he knows what he is missing out on.
