Halloween... hoo hoo!

We went to Charlotte to spend Halloween with the Schrammparents...
As always, we had a wonderful time together.



The weather was perfect- cool & crisp, the trees were gorgeous- full of color, so we walked the kiddies to one of the parks in the neighborhood.



El Azteca
(YUUUMMY Guac!)


Halloween day:



Rome was a pirate.  YAARrRrRrRr.  His costume was so cute. Ragged cut-off pants, hat (which did not stay on for more than a sec), little boots, a sword, and a mouth with only 6.5 teeth in it :) He fit the part perfectly. 

It was fun to be able to go trick-or-treating again without feeling like a creep-o or totally embarassed :) I think that's one reason why having kids is so much fun- you get permission to re-live your childhood!
Rome & Amaryllis had lotsa fun strolling from house to house, taking in all of their porch/yard decos & other kids' (and parents') costumes.  AND enjoying their fave- lollipops, of course =)
But really, c'mon- 4 adults walking around the neighborhood with 2 babies who could care less?  I'd say it was more for us than them at this point!



"Halloween! (hoo, hoo!) Halloween!  (hoo, hoo!)
...We. Love. Haaall. Loow. Wee-hee-hee-heeeeeeeeeen!!!"

He totally looks like a big boy in his costume!! I'm so glad y'all live near family... it makes holidays so much more fun!

(Oh and I gave Griff peanut butter, that's why he was making that face and the bat's name is Bartok)
