Trick or Treat!

Halloween was a success in the Walker household! It didn't always go as planned, but the kids had a great day. Jaidan even informed me that he liked Halloween more than his birthday. I guess that means next year's birthday party will need to be a Halloween party! He loves all things ghost and goblin and, of course, getting loads of candy.

The Jaybird was a pirate this year (of course). We did his costume almost entirely out of homemade goodies and I think we did a pretty good job. He loved it. He really understood trick or treating this year and made the most of it. As soon as he rang a doorbell, he didn't wait for anyone to answer before yelling, "Hello! Happy Halloween!" And every single house we went to he had to strike up a conversation. "Arrr! I'm a pirate! Pirate Jaybird!" and he'd go from there. I'm so proud to have such a friendly little boy. =)

Kyan wasn't as keeon on the whole trick or treat process. He hated being in costume (kept trying to take it off, then wouldn't pose for pictures, etc). He didn't want anyone else to hold his bag. Didn't want to even open his bag for people to put trick or treat candy in it! He sat in the stroller most of the time, but when he was out . . . he kept trying to go into people's houses!

Zhariah went with us as well . . . as a scary vampire! She didn't want to quit trick or treating until she got a full bucket but after about an hour and a half she weenied out on me. Her bucket was almost full and she was tired so we headed back to the house (and she was asleep within half an hour!)

Here are a few costume pictures. I'll share pictures from the rest of the day (we also went to a pumpkin patch and the park) in the next day or two:He was one tuckered out trick or treater:
