Halloween 2018

Halloween 2018! 

Here's the little man in his outfit for school.  They had PJ day!  So he was an astronaut.  In this first picture, he's saying "cheese!".  No, he's not saying it to smile for the picture, he's actually requesting cheese - a very common practice in our house.

And here he is, thrilled to have juice with breakfast.  You get special things like juice when you have a cold and the sniffles.  Can he look any happier?  Cheese AND juice???  Lucky man!

After school it was time to get ready and dressed for trick or treaters.  Since Leo looooves Moana, we figured who better to dress up as but Maui!  For weeks before, I hand-drew tattoos all over his costume, I cut out leaves and sewed them all over his shorts, added a twine belt, made his necklace with "teeth" on it and I even made him a hook.  

Leo wasn't thrilled about putting on the Maui costume but we finally got it all on and he looked adorable! For a while he helped us hand out candy since most kids come between 6-7, even though it runs until 8. 

We finally got out to go see a few of our friends so we were able to get a picture of Maui, Moana and Heihei (yes, the chicken)!  Leo got the hang of picking candy out of bowls when it was offered to him, and our neighbor across the street even let him ring her doorbell!  That was a highlight. 

For reference, this is what the Moana crew really looks like:

We all had a ton of fun and Leo was preferential to the peanut butter cups. Yup, he's ours.
