Happy Halloween

This year Jonah decided that he wanted to be Darth Vader for Halloween. Then he wanted Jenna to be Yoda. We saw the Yoda costume and thought it was so cute. We were just hoping Jenna would be walking by now. I bought their costumes several weeks ago when I found them so I wouldn't be running around trying to find them later. I didn't give Jonah his costume until Monday night though so that it would still be in good condition by Halloween. Jonah was so excited to try it on but was very reluctant to look in the mirror because he knew Darth Vader would be looking back at him. I usually try very hard not to laugh at my children's insecurities but it was just too funny.

Jenna loved her costume and was just so adorable waddling around. We had our church trunk or treat on Wednesday night and everyone loved her costume.

Jonah had his party at school yesterday and they did trick or treating down the hallway. He got almost as much candy at school as he did at the trunk or treat. After so much candy we only went to a few of the neighbors tonight and Jonah still came home with his little bucket nearly full. One of our next door neighbors always has a special treat for our kids and fills a baggie full of candy for them. The first year we lived here she even brought over some of her extra candy and crackers for Jonah the next day. Tonight she called Jonah "Darlin'" and as we were walking away Jonah started ranting about being called Darlin'. He's not Darlin', he's Jonah. He really has this thing about calling him by anything other than his real name. He was pretty loud about it too.

Of course Jonah dug right into his bucket as soon as we got through the door so Jenna thought it was a good idea too. So she got her first M&M's and made a great mess down the front of her shirt. We let Jonah have a couple more pieces of candy and she was looking for hers too so I sastified her with a little bowl of marshmallows. I didn't need anymore chocolate messes for the night.
