Buzz and Choo!

Well Halloween has descended upon us! I have always loved Halloween but there is just something spooktacular about watching your kids enjoy the holidays. This one is no exception.

Eric and I struggled with choosing costumes for the boys - and they themselves were no help! We went to the stores, trying to find the right ones, only to have the boys fall in love with one, then see another and run to it!

So, even though it has been a long week, Eric and I decided to MAKE the costumes. This led us to multiple late nights, including one with only three hours of sleep!

It was SO worth it.

Walker was a train - the Walker Express!
(He later informed us that his train was sad! We didn't even notice until he pointed it out!)


Will was a plane - the Wee Willy II!
(The Wee Willy II is based off a real plane with the same name that he loves at the Chino Air Museum)


We got to pay a visit to Grandma KK's school where they kids were doing their Halloween parade and party.











Grandma KK and Papa took the boys Trick-or-Treating to the neighbors. We then spent the evening at the Halloween Festival in downtown. We were a little late, but it was still lots of fun. Walker spent most of the time freaked out by everyone -even the giant blow up toys!



Will, E, and Will's Monster Face


It's not a pumpkin, it's a Jack-o-Lantern!


The best part of the day was watching the boys play and play in their costumes. I'm so proud of Eric and I for doing this together! What a memory!

Everyone - Thanks! We sure had fun making them...though I'm not sure if we'll do it again next year. Maybe if we don't have anything else (i.e. funeral) going on!

We'll gladly take suggestions :)
