[Oct 31] Trick or Treat Jedi Style

Perhaps the cutest Darth Vader known to man was ready to Trick or Treat!
I was Princess Leia and Dan was Luke Skywalker. I think that if you dress up you are perfectly entitled to receive candy. Even if you are a fully grown adult accompanying your toddler. Dan thinks otherwise. I still made him take a bucket. And I think he was glad when he got home with it half full of sweets.
Grandma and Grandpa came along for the fun!
This is what our door looked like when we left to go trick or treating. It looked pretty much the same when we returned a few hours later. Have I mentioned that our neighbors are all old Russians?
Choob checking out his candy stash.
He refused to let go of his "glow light saber" and his "Halloween light saber" (which is in fact, a pencil with pumpkins on it) so it made carrying his bucket and trick or treating a little tricky.
The boys mid trick or treat
Choob loved this pumpkin. The ghost went up and down and everytime he "pumped up" Choob would say, "see it again...see it again." I wonder what the homeowners thought of us spending so much time on their driveway.

This boy loves puppies and he was ultra excited when he got to pet some that were dressed up.
This is what trick or treating looks like in our neighborhood.
Cool huh?! This guys house was the best and he handed out glow necklaces to all the kids. He had his entire garage set up with halloween stuff and even had the rocky horror picture show playing on a TV in his driveway.
Choob LOVES "scary guys". In the weeks preceding Halloween we would drive around the neighborhood to look at "scary guys" every SINGLE night. This scary guy actually removes his own head and then puts it back on again. Choob was in heaven.


Our night ended with the best treat of all: Choobie's first pee on the potty! He was so surprised when he got off the potty and saw his accomplishment he said, "pee pee is yellow!" It was a Happy Halloween for us indeed.

We are going Trick or treating with you guys next year. Talk about making holidays fun! You are the coolest parents. The Choob will have the "Cool" house to hang at in 13 years.
