Monkeying Around for Halloween

Well, our little monkey had a blast yesterday.

A Halloween parade and party at school, and trick-or-treating
with the cutest Cabbage Patch Kid you ever did see.

He even surprised us and wore the monkey costume.

 Just not the pants.

It could be worse. At least he wore pants. 

It's true. Being an almost two-year-old is rough and being forced to put on pants you don't want to wear warrants kicking, screaming and throwing ourselves on the floor.

I picked my battles. I chose to let him wear the jeans.

And not just at his school parade, but also for trick-or-treating.

Kicking, screaming and falling on the floor once a day is plenty for this mama.

These two cuties had so much fun together for their first trick-or-treating experience.
I highly recommend going with friends.

I was really surprised at how easy it was for them to pick up, and they absolutely loved it!

After two houses, they were pros.

Walked right up to houses on their own {hand in hand of course} and said "tick or teat."

It was the cutest thing. Ever.

 Who are you calling a first timer!?

Unfortunately, Carson didn't really grasp the concept of only taking one piece of candy so we have something to work on for next year.

 The adults learned a lesson too.

Bring two wagons...one ain't gonna cut it.

One for the kiddos and one solely for the beer. Kiddos don't like coolers at their feet. 

We had such a great Halloween.

Already looking forward to next year.

Happy weekend and cheers to a fun-filled 2013 Halloween!
