Happy Halloween!

This was our first Halloween in Illinois.  The boys had fun walking around the neighborhood.  Benny did a great job of ringing doorbells and saying "Trick or Treat".  Timmy mostly sat in the stroller.  He did go up to a few houses though.  Benny went dressed as Indiana Jones and Timmy was a cow. The jack o' lanterns were carved at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  Benny drew the faces and I (Lisa) cut them out. The boys thought the pumpkins were cool once they were lit up.

Timmy's way of Trick or Treating!

Grandpa Pumpkin!

Timmy picked out the shapes for this pumpkin!

We had to save some seed for our garden next year!

Halloween 2011

These pictures are from a few days before Halloween. I had the boys try on their costumes. Timmy was a little lamb and Benny was Indiana Jones.

Timmy was so cute!

Here is a picture of the back of Benny's shirt. There is a big spider!

Here is Benny with the whip.

Here is Indiana ready for his next adventure. His friend Dayton let him borrow the hat, shirt and whip. The jacket (which it was way to big) I bought at Goodwill.
We went to the old neighborhood to do our trick or treating. We met up with our old neighbors and went with them. Benny went to a lot more houses. He was braver with his friends around. Benny and Timmy had a great time. Can't wait until next year!

Trick or Treat Halloween 2010

Benny attended his first Halloween Party this year. He had a great time. Afterward, we all went trick or treating. He rode in the wagon with his friend Xander. I don't have any pictures from the party :( but here are pictures of the kids in their costumes.

My little pumpkin!

Watch out for the Tiger!

Halloween 2009

Here is our little Benny. As you can see he went dressed as a cow this year. He did pretty well considering he didn't want to take a nap that day. He wasn't too thrilled to have the cow hat on. I tried to get him to say "trick or treat" but all he said was "treat".

He had a bit of his candy before we got home. He found out that he likes Hershey's chocolate bars. Here is our chocolate cow.

Benny's two favorite things from Halloween night. His big "pop" and his glow stick.

I think he had fun. We visited our friends in the neighborhood. He didn't want to go to any house he didn't know which was okay by me. Once we got back home, he helped me hand out candy. He got so excited when anyone knocked on the door or rang the doorbell.

Halloween 2008

Benny had a great time trick or treating. Daddy had to work, so it was only me and Benny going around the neighborhood. Benny liked knocking on the doors. Just about every house we went to, he wanted to go inside. As you can see, he was dressed as a little lion. I was very proud of him, because he kept that hat on the whole time we were out trick or treating.

Once we were done, he liked helping me pass out candy. He got so excited anytime anyone rang the doorbell.
