happy halloween!

halloween 2009...we had to celebrate as a family a little bit early since lance will be going to the football game tomorrow night. i love the sooners...but a 6:00 game on halloween is NOT appropriate!

the costumes are the reason i hadn't been updating the blog as much as i wanted to. i've been working on them, mainly miles' costume, for a long time...i am embarrassed to admit, since september, but seeing them on the boys tonight made it all worth it! i am so proud of them and think they turned out just adorable! it was a complete success tonight as BOTH boys wore their costumes...what a miracle! i had visions of either or both of them not wanting anything to do with them. ethan almost wasn't going to wear that hat (that i made in about 10 minutes tonight while feeding the boys the halloween cookies so i could get it done), but at the last minute changed his mind and ended up loving his hat.

we got a few pics of a binkyless lion, but had to bring back the binky in order to keep from a meltdown. don't all lions use a binky? :)

after our pictures we went to a small church carnival and ethan played some games and won some candy and miles just loved being held and his first taste of a tootsiepop. tomorrow night i'll be taking the boys out for actual trick-or-treating. hopefully i'll be able to get them into their costumes again!
