Halloween!

Eden as Bob the Builder and Yasha and Xander as firefighters.





Moms and boys posing in front of the haunted house on our block, while the dads took pictures.




Spooky scary neighbors!




Back at the house with our LOOT.  The first priority was separating out peanut and non-peanut candy. Oh no, Mommy's forced to eat all the Snickers and Reese's Pieces.




Ari the monkey chillin' on the couch.




Trying a Twizzler for the very first time.  It was a bonafide hit.




Lollipops require intense focus.




Ari, de-monkey-fied, wants candy too.


Post-candy calm-down time was spent watching YouTube videos of how to use a fire extinguisher.  It all ended at 9:30pm, which really wasn't bad for all the sugar Xander consumed.  He was so taken with his costume that he insisted on wearing his "fire jacket" to bed over his pajamas.  We said okay... but that the fire hat, bullhorn, and fire extinguisher had to sleep by themselves in the toy bin.  Oh what cruel parents!  We also just barely convinced him that a firefighter costume was not the outfit to wear to school pictures the next day.  I don't know if he'll ever forgive us.

OMIGOD!!!! What a lovely post. All the boys look beautiful and oh, so happy! Xander, the Fire Chief, looks fantastic and Ari, the little monkey, is the sweetest thing around.
