Happy Halloween

This year the boys were the Blue Ranger and the Red Ranger of Power Rangers. They picked the costumes out all by themselves. They looked super cute and very strong, notice the BIG muscles.
They started wearing their costumes the day before Halloween. A woman at Costco was "nice" enough to tell them, "Today is NOT Halloween". I was very impressed that she knew that astonishing fact and was sharing it with a 2 and 4 year old, so my reply was simple, "Oh, actually everyday is Halloween at our house."
When it was finally the real Halloween the boys were so excited. We went trick-or-treating with one of our favorite families the Smith's. When I told Alex we were going to the "Smith's" he said, "Mom, why are we trick-or-treating at the grocery store, I want to go with Kolton and Emmye."
The weather was great and the boys had a great time going door to door collecting candy. Alexander kept up with Kolton and all the big boys from the neighborhood. Jaxon had a little help from Daddy getting to the next house. We were so proud of our boys manners as each time they received a treat they said a big "thank you" without being prompted. Alexander even added a "Have a Happy Halloween!" it was so sweet and cute.
After trick-or-treating we headed back to the Smith home for lots of playing. The boys had so much fun playing with Kolton and Emmye they forgot all about their candy. Jason and I didn't mind, the boys are much happier without the sugar rush. It was me that had the sugar rush thanks to Lesley and Kelly introducing me to the best chocolate cake and caramel apple ever! Yes, they did force me to eat more than I should, I am eating for 2 you know.
We all had a great time, we are so lucky to have such great friends to spend the Halloween holiday with. We are already looking forward to next time.
