I noticed bags of bite-sized chocolate bars at the grocery today. Odd considering Halloween isn't really celebrated here. Then I saw a commercial about being caught when the children come around for St Martin's Day with only pickles in your fridge. So that must be it. I am glad it is not tonight, as we have nothing to offer... we're debating on whether to buy a bag of candy, because if nobody shows up we will surely eat it all.
We have not managed any major Halloween plans. We can wait until next year to introduce the concept of trick or treating to the still clueless James. His teeth will thank us. We didn't want to throw together a party plan-- we much prefer Thanksgiving, and with the two events just a month apart it makes sense to choose one. Of course, we love costume parties even more than we love Thanksgiving, so we didn't let the lack of a Halloween party stop us from putting together some rad costumes.
It was rainy this weekend and we needed a craft project. So, we made a robot costume for James. Will is sporting the "sweet pea" costume we used for James two years ago.
Then naturally James also wanted to try on the sweet pea costume (which he can only fit his head through) and sit in the bouncy seat. I think he wants to "be the baby" on occasion. It is still an adjustment, and we are being patient.
Finally-- how adorable is this "Made in Holland" shirt! It was a gift from our neighbors and we love it.

Awesome costume James...I mean, Mike and Kat! And Will makes a great sweet pea. Sophie also climbed into the twins bouncy seats, and she was 4. You are right, patience is key.
Love the costumes. You two are truly amazing, prepping for a major move and still you had a crafty weekend making a robot costume. Great inspiration. Will is a very sweet pee.
Love to all,M
