Thomas the Tank Engine...Again

 Halloween was really fun with Ethan this year!  For the ward party I styled his hair before putting on his costume.  Nice, huh?
 The Halloween party had trick or treating inside the church, lots of games, and Ethan's favorite, a train ride!  Here he is waiting by the train for it to be time to ride.  Recognize the costume?  He wore it last year too.  That 6 dollars on Craigslist has been put to good use.  Once he understood the costume concept, he did request to be a mouse a few times (his favorite Halloween book was about a mouse), but when given the choice between Thomas and a mouse, he chose Thomas.

 One of our neighbors came with us to the party.
 Here's my Thomas jack o'lantern.  I enlarged a coloring book page to use as a stencil.  This is two days old, so it's a little wilty.
 On Halloween night we met up with another neighbor and the boys were adorable!  I wish I had had my real camera.  These two ran from house to house.  Ethan was a pro loudly saying trick or treat and thank you.  His friend had been a little shy about it before they teamed up, but gained his confidence with Ethan.


 Cutest thing ever! 
 Mike and I both went with Ethan for a little while and then Benton and I went home to hand out candy while Mike and Ethan kept going.  We ended up not even giving away a whole bag of candy, so we have tons left over!
I was a slacker and didn't dress up the rest of the family.  I had Benton in his stretchy wrap and did get asked if he was a real baby though!
