Innocence Lost

Halloween is gone and I am so happy to move onto Thanksgiving and Christmas!  Such a fun time of year!!
I won't bore you too much with our Halloween.  We trick or treated for an hour or so and we were done.
I will share with you a sad story of my poor little 2 year old, whom I was so excited to dress up as a cute little cowboy. Complete with hat, chaps, vest, bandanna, a painted on mustache, and a wooden horse on a stick.  He was going to look so cute, and for weeks he has told EVERYONE he was
"going to be a cowboy"
Unfortunately, this did not come to pass.  He refused to wear the get-up.  I fought him hard on this one.  I mean, aren't 2 year olds not suppose to care what they wear?  Don't parents get to pick out the obnoxious costumes? 
Well, here is what he insisted on wearing

It is Obi-Wan, but most people thought it was Fidel.
One eye was smashed shut the whole time, but he refused to take off the mask.
He paired the mask with a spiderman costume and there you have it...cute as a button!  Ha!

The other 3 had a ball.  We went trick or treating with our neighbors.
The trick or treating was kicked up a notch this year.  I have never seen my kids run like that.  They were on a mission and it was a success.....a sugar success!

On the bright side....at least none of my kids are wearing the Scream Mask.  :)
