Yummy Hunny (pots) filled with Candy

Halloween...take it or leave it...at least that's how I felt pre-kid.  But seeing little kiddos all dressed up makes Halloween that much more enjoyable, and this year was no different.  Our friends, the Koss', have kindly opened up their home the past 2 years for what is becoming a fun small group tradition and it's crazy that Micah is on his 3rd halloween!  What a big boy he is becoming.  And it's also crazy to think that Reid is older than Micah was on his first Halloween.  Oh, how fast time is going.

We weren't sure Halloween was going to happen for the entire family this year because originally Christian was going to be tied up with work, but due to some last minute changes, he was able to be a part of the night and I'm very grateful.  I knew I wanted Reid to be in this little classic Pooh costume due to the warmth it would provide while being outside, so when I stumbled upon the real Pool costume at Once Upon A Child, I couldn't resist.  I thought that would be so cute to have Micah and Reid both as Poohs, but not matching ones.  I know I'm biased, but I think my boys are just the cutest Winnie the Poohs ever :)  It was hard to be selective on my pictures...but considering that 105 were taken, 23 isn't too bad, haha.

I love this first sequence of pictures.  It's rare that we get pictures of just the two boys, but I'm hoping that will come as Reid gets a little older.  Micah was soooo excited to get candy!  It's fun to see him old enough to actually participate in a holiday and understand the cause and effect.

 

Me and my boys - love!

Micah did a pretty good job trick-or-treating, and was very concerned that Reid got his share as well.  At every house, he would get his candy and then go to take a second (which was definitely for Reid, every time) and I had to inform more than one person that Micah wasn't trying to take two for himself...he really was trying to make sure his brother got one.  He would even tell them "it's for Reid" even though they didn't really understand.

 

Oh, look at all the candy.  I can't wait to eat it.

 

Hurry, hurry, more candy!!

 

 

Sweet Reid - he did a great job "holding" his Hunny pot just on his hand...he didn't even move his arm!

 

All the kiddos we were trick-or-treating with.  

 

Look what I got!

 

I love how Reid is looking up at Christian here...

 

And how they are both looking at each other here.

 

My happy Winnie the Pooh Bear! 

 I'm also pleased with our 2 family pictures - too rare these days.

 

 

About an hour in, Reid was starting to melt (he had been up since 2pm, and it was 6:15pm) and Micah was starting to slow down as well...so back to our home base we went to pack up and go home.  I wanted to try and get another shot of the two boys with Reid not in the stroller, but it was just a little too dark to get great pictures.  Still, in black and white, they aren't too bad.  I so love my boys!
