Roar

Dragon and Monster were the costumes of choice this year

and I have to say Monster was a perfect fit for Jett

he is busy busy busy, he was running laps at the ward party, then broke not one, but two bottles of root beer that where set up for a ring toss.

Which landed him a firm place on mom's hip for the remainder of the evening, (though really I think it is where he likes to view the world anyways)

Amelia's story is cute one this year, we were having trouble getting her to commit to a costume, so we decided to stick with one of her princess dress up and not worry about it. That is until she adamantly announced she was going to be a dragon for Halloween only a few days before. I knew the costume she meant so Josh called a slew of stores and found 1 left in the city, which was quickly secured for Amelia. It was well worth it to hear the loud "Thank you MOM!" when we picked it up.

She loved the costume so much, she wanted to put it on the second Josh got home so he could help her "fly", and when you asked her what she was she would say "I am a dragon, Roar!" and then dramatically stomp her feet. And of coarse she had to have a dragon dance. Then we convinced her that if the house was scary that she could just roar at it before she went up and she would be okay, so cute.

Trick or treating was the best, Amelia was so big she would go up all by herself (though we were near by) and Jett loved the idea too and toddled up to that door after her, though he would just grab the offered candy and run, trying to get it out of the wrapper before we could put it in the bag, (we did let him have some.) Amelia summed it up the best by telling us "this is fun".
