I was none too pleased, as I am a Halloween hoarder of Kit Kats and Twix and planned to keep any he collected for myself. He got four Kit Kats and he ate three. The fourth one miraculously disappeared after he went to bed.
Sorry, baby. It's for your (my) own good.
Last year, Halloween was fun. This year, it was FUN. Holidays just have a whole new level of meaning and enjoyment for me as a mom. There's really nothing cuter than watching your baby race down the sidewalk, pirate hook in one hand, Tootsie Roll pop in the other, shouting "that's so spooky, Mom and Dad!"
My little pirate. Easiest costume on earth — foam hat, hook, and bandana were $5 total at JoAnn Fabrics, eye patch was $1 at Party City, shirt was $5 at Target, sweatpants were $3 at Walmart, striped socks were $1 at Old Navy. I zig zagged the edge of the sweatpants, cut a strip of red fabric for the sash, and we were in business. Total cost: $15. And he looked adorable.
When do family photos start to turn out better? I mean, seriously. This was the best of the bunch. Also, do you like our still-blooming geraniums?
I really thought we were going to have issues getting him to wear the eye patch. Nope. He wore it around the house for three days prior to Halloween. Loved it. Wiped out a few times due to vision impairment, but didn't seem to mind.
Calvin made quite the haul in his two blocks. Including a can of Pepsi. Which was given to him after the woman said "Hmm...now what would be best for you? Oh, here you go!" Well, of course. Pepsi is always the logical choice for a two year old. Not only is it nutritious, it's also really lightweight and easy for a toddler to carry!
See? He only ate the Kit Kats. It's as if he knew...
Happy Halloween, mateys!

love your little pirate! :)
Cuteness! I'm impressed with his loot! And that he wore the eyepatch.
Love it! That costume is great and I'm glad you all had a good time.
(Twix are my candy weakness...Simon didn't get any and I stayed strong in not buying any for our "to give away" candy.)
i don't get why you had to use the p word. coke would have flowed so well. but man, he is lots of cuteness. so are all of you. i think that's a great family picture-you just have to let go of perfect and go for entertainment. :) way to go being creative!
cuteness!!! the family picture is adorable and nice job pulling together such a cute costume! :)
So cute! I love that the lady even had Pepsi as an option. Hilarious. Enjoy your kit kats!! The family pic is great too!
