Big Chicken

Adam spent a bit of his Halloween day giving blood.  He's super nice that way.  If you went to the blood drive in costume they gave you an extra entry into the drawing for an iPad mini.  All of the ridiculous logo wear stuff Academy has sent him over the years finally came in handy.

Halloween is #1!

Yes, even the headband has the Academy logo on it.  Not sure what they were expecting him to do with it all when they sent it to him.  Perhaps they had a Halloween blood drive in mind???

When you are little you don't have to have just one Halloween costume, it's perfectly acceptable to have 2.  One for day wear. . .

And one for night time trick-or-treating.

 

The chicken costume was super warm and he loved flapping his wings. Seriously, he was the cutest chicken ever.  One of the neighbors even texted me at the end of the night saying that Jameson's costume was the best one she saw all night.

 

Pumpkin pie, a dead cheerleader, a chicken and Cleopatra

This was Britton's last year trick-or-treating and about an hour before it was time to go he still didn't have a costume.  In the end he decided to be Pumpkin Pi.  Clever. We laughed and laughed but only the geekiest of our neighbors got it.  Korinne borrowed a costume and decided to be a dead cheerleader (??? I don't ask questions). Jameson was an awesome chicken and Jenna decided to reprise her Cleopatra role from last year (I love using the costumes more than once!)

 

Once Korinne's neighborhood friends arrived to go trick-or-treating with her I started to understand her choice of costume a little more.

 

 

A dead bride, a Monster High doll, and a dead cheerleader. Ok, I get it now.

 

Britton looking at his loot.  He was invited to a friend party, too, so after trick-or-treating with Jameson and Dad he headed off to hang with friends for a bit.  He didn't stay at the party too long since they were going to watch a movie and he didn't want to watch the one they had picked.  And so it begins. . . .

Jameson was giddy.  Sugar at every door, and we were letting him have as much as he wanted. Truly a dream come true. He has decided that Halloween is the best. holiday. ever.

He wasn't interested in posing for pictures at this point. He just wanted to look at all of his candy and open every sucker he could get his hands on.

Mom, don't bother me. I'm very busy.

He may not have our DNA, but he definitely has our sugar addiction.  Don't get between this boy and some sugar, it won't be pretty. :-)
