A Little bit Halloween, and little bit Country

The goo man choo (this really is Sam's nickname for Josh)

I wanted to do a quick picture catch up post as well as a small Halloween shout out, before moving on to the hurricane aftermath post which will assuredly come. We were keeping Kaj's hair long for Halloween, because I thought it would fun to do some wild crazy pirate hair. We went to little Halloween party at a friend's house where all the kids wore there costumes...except for Kaj. I thought "well maybe if he sees his friends he'll want too." I brought the costume just incase the mood would strike him...it didn't. He was totally cool just hanging out with the Incredibles, Super Red, Woody, the Statue of Liberty, and Super D like it's an every day thing. So for the next costume event which was the trunk or treat..or church or treat in this case- all day I would ask him and about being a pirate, try and get him really excited about it. Singing pirate songs all day, then I dressed up in a reindeer suit, and Josh as a monkey still thinking "he has got to think this is cool some time." (Me-as a reindeer isn't that the definition of cool? haha) So right before we had to go over to the church it hit me...Kaj can be in costume...in disguise. We have a cowboy hat that Kaj WILL wear, and cowboy shirt, and some jeans. He could be in costume and not even realize it. So, that is exactly what I did. The trunk or treat was a hit! The kids seemed to have a great time, and Kaj scored some major candy. I was so grateful for friends that could help with my boys on a night that Sam would be traveling from Queens late. I would still be at the church cleaning up if it wasn't for them. This is my shout for Halloween!
