Halloween 2011

Sorry I'm a little late with the Halloween...

Here are the photos from the Monday night

trick or treating that we

did in Conroe, Texas,

SJ was Blu from the movie "Rio"...

He loves to dance to the music.

So after un fruitful searching.

I ended up making his costume.

I made Sophia's too...
I didn't like the off rack Jesse costume.
(The hat and boots are from Disney store)
Blu flying from his first house!
This is his first time walking trick or treating!

Steve and I took turns taking the kids to the doors.
Some of the houses had lawn chairs set up
at the end of the driveway!
Almost all of the houses were decorated.

(Thank you Aunt Amy for the Strawberry Shortcake bag!) This was an odd sight.
There was a lady with a pony,
which was dressed as a ninja turtle,

walking through the neighborhood.

Sophia eventually touched its nose.

Jesse doing the tired ear tug.
Soso helped me with the buttons.
She also had input on the design...
sometimes unsolicited!

Daddy's turn!
After several practice rounds of you say

"trick or treat" to the person with candy

walking between houses,

right in the moment of facing

the candy giver, Sophia would freeze!

Finally, she started saying what Jesse would
say to someone:
with hat tip and very loud,
"YEEEHAW!"

Most people laughed and got it.
Ahhhhh...my Sophia.

She thought this was cool...from a safe distance.

Back in the bus assessing the loot!
She was quite impressed with this holiday.

Poor Blu was tiiiiiiiired and didn't
get to see the fruits of his labors
until the next morning!
