Trick-or-Treats

When it came down to Halloween Day 2012 Rachel did not want to go as a princess.  She wanted to be a superhero.  It's my fault really.  I wouldn't let her go as a princess to her preschool Halloween party.  Super-Rachel was her second choice.  But, after that day she never wanted to don her crown again.  Do you think it's because superheros have better powers than princesses?  I mean when was the last time you saw Cinderella fly, Sleeping Beauty save someone from disaster or Snow White jump tall building with a single bound?

I debated over Joseph's costume long before Halloween.  I briefly considered dressing him as this cute little monster.  Adorable right?!


The deciding factor, back in September, was the way his dragon bum waddled when he walked.  Don't worry.  I'll show you.


The shoes.  I thought these were absolutely perfect.


Rachel was quick to take Joey's hand and show him the ropes.  She is a wonderful big sister.  In fact, she gets very annoyed if the kids in the carpool don't say hi to him.  Plus she introduces him to everyone, including Grandma.  "Here's my little brother Joey," she says as she nudges him forward with her hand on his back. 


I digress.  I love the look on Rachel's face.  It's like she is daydreaming about all the candy she is going to get.


Joe wore out before we made it all the way around the block. 


Now to inspect the spoils of the evening's adventure.


Rachel and Joey sat up to the table and had a candy feast.  It's because of that feast, and the aforementioned bum waddle, that this video was born.  Click here.
