The costumes were throw together last minute, thanks to all the trouble baby Phibbs has been causing me. But, they came out pretty good in the end. Only spent five dollars (just sewed the felt onto one of Alex's sweat suits) on Alex's and nine (eye patch and bandanna) on Kris' costume. Guess it pays sometimes to wait until the last minute. We only went to seven houses, but Alex was totally into it this year. He got the hang of it quickly. He was knocking on doors and taking candy and putting it his bag. He loved watching the other people walking by and saying hi to people when they opened their doors. He saw lots of dogs that were dressed up too, which he thought was pretty funny. Alex even did a little dance when we poured all his candy on the floor once we were home. He never even ate a piece that night. He just loved the concept of collecting the pieces and putting them in his bag. It was great fun!
