Happy Halloween

Halloween was definitely an adventure this year. We were very happy to be living in a community this year instead of out in the middle of nowhere! We knew we had lots of safe and convenient places to trick-or-treat. Elizabeth absolutely had the best time ever. Banastre still isn't too sure of what all happened. When I tried to put his costume on, he screamed bloody murder and fought me as hard as he could. But, as Mommy, I won. We jumped in the car and drove to Grandma and Grandpa's house. There both kids received lots of goodies. Then we headed on our way to trick-or-treat. Banastre wanted to "wak" every where. He looked at everyone's "pumkims" and admired their "Yo Ho's" (any skeleton, pirate, or monster). But once we arrived at a house and rang the doorbell, he would wait for the people to answer and then run the other way yelling, "No, no, no". He was actually ok at a couple of houses and tried to give them candy from his bucket. He would only say trick or treat when we were walking between houses. He also acted very tired the entire night. (Mom and Dad's favorite part was the house that gave the kids candy and all the parents margaritas...we will definitely start there next year!!) We finished up around 8 and came home to give out candy to the other little princess and ghouls. It was a great time, but I hope Banastre will understand a little better next year. He refused to wear the gator head most of the night. But they were both still looking great!

He actually started crying and jerked the head piece off right after this was taken.

Waiting for treats at Grandma and Grandpa's.

This morning, Banastre woke up with a very pink eye. After the doc appt. it is confirmed that he has pink eye. That might explain his behavior yesterday. It does give me hope that next year will be much better!
