Ghosties and Ghoulies

Another banner Halloween at Pokey Oaks. We got roughly 20 or so trick or treaters. Some very cute costumes. Here are pictures of our own little tricksters:













Kevin is mid-jump and Jason is mid-disco baby dance step. They sure are funny.
The boys went with a Halloween theme and Joe and I had costumes but opted to only wear the witches hat so as to not scare wee Kicky and Jumpy. By the time they went to bed, beggar's night was pretty much over so we bailed on dressing up.

You can see by Jason's expression how much he liked the witches hat. Oh well, hopefully he'll come around by next year.
Happy Halloween All!
Many thanks for the Halloween goodies for the boys. They wore their "1st Halloween bibs" and their light up Halloween socks (Kevin was fascinated by these..."Why didn't I notice my feet lighting up before?") The Halloween ducks have been a bathtime favorite and the Halloween shirts (can't see 'em here but they are wearing them) are adorable. We hung the Halloween cards by their high chairs so they could see them. Both boys were fascinated and it's been a game to see who can stretch and reach a card and then pull it down. The Halloween night light has also been of keen interest. It's been a help to us as when either gets tetchy, if you flip on the light, they both go quiet and stare at the light in complete fascination.
Well, election day is around the corner. Kicky and Jumpy will be voting at the McCarthy school after work. Hopefully the weather holds out and we can all walk up together. Actually, some get to ride, others get to push. Such is life.
Have a great night.
