Last year I got Jordan an adorable, warm, fuzzy little dragon costume. He wanted nothing to do with it. "Take it OAF!" was all he said. Over and over and over.
I took it OAF! I returned it! And that was that.
So, I don't know how familiar you are with the Cars movie, but Jordan has watched it approximately 54 million times. He loves Lightening McQueen (who he refers to as LA QUEEN!), and he loves Mater. Tow-Mater. The tow truck sidekick.
We told Betty that Jordan was going to be Mater, as in Tow-mater, for Halloween, and she said, "Well, then, I'm going to be Q!"
"Q?"
"Cu-cumber!"
Uh, not that kind of tomater, tomahter, potato, potahter...
India had no say-so in her costume, but lemme tell you, she was the cutest giraffe I've ever seen in my whole entire life. She beamed and squealed in delight the whole time.
Jordan practiced saying "Twick or tweat!" and he said it so sweetly at every house. He gently took one piece of candy, and (with reminders) said "Thank you!" at each and every house.
Well, except one, when he said, "GBTFHMMFFF" and we realized that his jaw was basically cemented together with Milk Duds.
Love.
I love the Mater costume!! That's fantastic! We, too, were a Cars house, but thankfully he's starting to diversify more these days. India is absolutely precious as a giraffe. Sounds like you guys had a blast!
ReplyDeleteHe's less fixated on Cars now, and more on Mighty Machines! But Nick had already ordered the costume, and J was psyched about it. I hope you all are doing well!
DeleteYay trick or treating! So much fun! We went around the block in our own neighborhood this year for the first time (instead of friends or sister's hood), and it was SO much fun. And Clara only had to be prevented from going inside on the first house -- after that she had it down. Even managed to say "trick or treat" in unison with her big sister a couple of times. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, omg, cutest giraffe in the history of cute giraffes! Love the action shot. Excited baby!
So cute that she was going to head on into the first house! And adorable that they said trick or treat in unison!
DeleteSo cute! Love this post!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Heather!
DeleteThat little car and giraffe are the cutest I've ever seen too!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks! They were particularly cute and sweet that night. Both of them.
Deletei 100% agree with that being the cutest giraffe i've ever seen before! and good for Jordan, someone's gotta eat the milk duds, right? i'm going to try to train my kids to like all the candy i don't like so i get the castoffs : )
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! I hadn't ever thought about manipulating their candy preferences...
DeleteThey are so cute! I love the giraffe on india. Jordan, of course, is a rockstar!
ReplyDeleteI have been dressing her in the giraffe outfit as her winter suit. I love it so much!
DeleteThey're adorable! I love the look on India's face, lol. She is geeked! J is the man!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate! They both had a great time!
DeleteYour kids are so ridiculously darn cute it makes me want one of my own, L. Almost. (You know that's a big deal.)
ReplyDeleteI DO know that's a big deal! I'm so flattered! But I must remember to take and post some terrible moment pictures as well, so the blog stays fair and balanced.
