Halloween '09

I dressed up both the kids and took them out, then brought Caitlin home to give out candy with Daddy and took Ben out again. Both seemed to have a great time and looked adorable in their costumes. Ben went as a dragon again this year; last year's costume stilll fit him. He originally wanted to be a ghost, so I made him a costume, but changed his mind once I was finished making it (such is the way of children), so now he has a dress up costume. But Ben made a great dinosaur, growling and roaring at everyone, a couple of houses gave him extra candy for his enthusiasm. :)

Ben the dinosaur and Caitlin the ladybug.

Daddy sneaks into the picture.

Ben growling at Caitlin and her presumably thinking "you don't scare me".

Caitlin makes off with some of Ben's Halloween loot.

Daddy trying to isolate the candy, and Caitlin making her way over.

Now this is what big brothers are for!

About a third left of an enormous lollypop Ben scored at one house. He was determined to finish it before going to bed... and he did!

Yum!
