Happy Halloween!
Alex and Zachary had the opportunity to celebrate Halloween Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week. (We got our money's worth on costumes this year!)The 1st day of Halloween was Wednesday at playgroup. I overcame my fear of getting dirty and dressed the boys up to play in the park. Most of our friends were dressed up too. Without prior consultation among Moms, we had 2 Peter Pans and 2 Turtles! Here they are getting ready for lunch.

The 2nd day was the Child Development Center parade around Coast Guard Island. Phil escorted the boys along the parade route, and I took his place at the office handing out treats. They made some friends along the way, which involved a co-worker carrying Zachary while Alex hi-jacked her daughter's push cart. (At least it was people we know, and they were happy to help Phil out!) Eventually Alex ended up riding in a side by side stroller with a different co-worker's daughter. Such adventures! Zachary was coveting Alex's snacks just after this picture.
And finally, the 3rd day of Halloween was actually Halloween! The shopping center down the street hosts a store to store trick or treat, which is much easier than going door to door. We did a little candy collecting and a lot of running around, up and down the stairs at the dock. There were some great costumes. One little girl was a peacock. (I have got to find that website for next year, right now, I don't remember it.) And Alex's favorite was a boy with suspenders holding up a car frame around his waist. So the boy was the driver and the car was around him...can you see it? Anyway, Alex wanted to push him because he looked like a car. Crazy kid!
Hope your Halloween was fun too!

That last picture is too cute! Auntie also likes the one Alex sent her in the mail!
We love, love, LOVE the costumes! but where was Alex's "Go Terps" hat? That's all he needed (that or a ninja headband!). The boys looked fabulous, but it would be hard to top Phil's banana last year!
