We had so much fun this year!  The Joker, The Witch, Green Lantern and a Lawn Gnome.  Nice combo huh?

Bill and Angie Gerber came over with their kids Mason and Hayley.  Mason is almost a year older than Coop, and Hayley is just a few weeks younger than Crosby.  It was fun to be able to go around with them.  Just like last year, we all went over to the Johnson’s next door to fuel up and hang out before trick-or-treating.  Kim made homemade soup, bread, and mummy fingers (hotdogs wrapped in crescent rolls).  Gary was a big hit with Cooper when he came out as Spiderman.

Then we hit the streets!  Coop ran ahead with Gary and his kiddos and sprinted from house to house.  Crosby and I took a little more time to coordinate with Angie, Bill and the kids and got out just a few minutes behind them.  And they were gone…so excited!  We caught them as they were walking back.  Coop had slowed down quite a bit.  He was kind of like George when gets out in the field for the first time to hunt…he just runs around like crazy and doesn’t pay attention, then when he gets the wiggles out he puts his nose down and hunts.  Cooper did the same thing, he ran and ran, and then tired himself out.  When I caught up to him, he was walking, and at times even just standing and looking around.  When he got the wiggles out he finally looked around and saw all of the other kids, the decorations, the pumpkins and skeletons, and in particular the Batman and Buzz Lightyear kids that were walking close to him.  He needed to fully inspect their costumes and tell them all about all of the tools they had.  It was adorable!

Luckily it was close to 40 degrees outside, so Crosby was able to hang out in the front carrier as I took him around.  He didn’t make a peep.  I think he was soaking it all in as well.  I got stopped 3 times by people saying he was “SOOOO cute” and had a great costume.  He was completely yummy!

Cory hung back at the house to hand out candy and scare all of the little kids.  He had put all of the chocolate in one bowl and the fruit based candies in the other bowl and let the kids pick what they wanted.  He is so funny, there is always a system, and the “right way” to doing things….even handing out candy.  Man I love him!
