Ella was a princess this year. {Again.} She was Rapunzel...and decided to skip the wig. Whenever someone asked Cohen what he wanted to be for Halloween, he'd yell "Rooaaaarrr!." That left me with several options, a tiger, lion, dinosaur, etc. (You cab see him "roar-ing" in these two pictures).
Despite waiting until the week before Halloween to get Cohen's costume....and going to three stores, I luckily found the perfect dinosaur costume. I even happened to find matching gloves and hat with a dinosaur face, even in the same colors as the costume.
My pretty princess.
My silly dino.
They were too excited to help carve the pumpkins- but stopped to check out what Daddy was doing every once and a while.
He's becoming quite the goof-ball!
We walked around with the neighbor kids and their cousins. Cohen was usually the last to get his candy. He waited so patiently; I was so proud of him. Then he would run, run, run to catch-up with the kids already at the next house.
There were a few tricks along the way. One house that had some teenagers in it, and apparently no candy, handed Ella a used crayon. She made the whole thing a lot funnier with her reaction "What?" She yelled. "I got a crayon?!" We told the kids to come on to the next house, and Cohen, being the last was still at the door when the teens peeked out and handed him something. He was trying to shove it in his bag when I realized it was a bag of spaghetti noodles. Poor little guy. He didn't mind at all when I returned it to their porch, though.
One neighbor dressed as a witch, really got into Halloween and had a whole which story for the kids, in a very witchy voice. She told them to fatten up and come back next year so she could boil them in her pot. Ella found this hilarious and talked about it for the rest of the night. "I am not going back to that house next year!" She told me this over and over. I know differently, though. Every time we pass that house over the next year, she will no doubt say how she can't wait to go back to that house next Halloween.
Cohen was all done by 7 o'clock and didn't mind at all that the other kids kept going.
My favorite part. Watching Cohen's little dino tail swish back and forth as he ran to the next house. What a fun night!
Ah thats so cute! I (we) love their costumes, just another day for Ella and a perfect fit for Cohen, quite hilarious! Glad it turned out great, I dont doubt Ella speaking of that house and pointing it out for the remainder of the year, what a cute idea and how funny! Love to all! Ash and Mom
