When Mathis came to me and told me he wanted to be a Hobo for Halloween, I start picturing what I know a Hobo should look like....big shoes, big tie, patches on his coat, a white frown painted around his mouth, big red nose.....ya know a "Hobo"! So I start saying this to Mathis and he says no to the painted face, no tie, no big floppy shoes. He says, "just a bunch of dirty clothes and a dirty face and a stick with a bandanna tied around the end." I said to him, "well that's sounds more like a Bum" and he replies, "Ya a bum! I want to be a bum!" He even made a sign to hang around his neck that read, "Will work for Candy" but I didn't get a photo of it. He actually made a pretty cute homeless guy.
Hayden had a harder time choosing what he wanted to be, ironically he started with wanting to be a police officer, but ended up being an escaped convict instead!!
I think my boys had more fun playing with their Cousins Kate and Avery, than they did trick or treating. They entertained the girls outside, running around chasing after them, then playing ring-around-the-rosie.
They just love these little girls to pieces!!
There's this hole in Grandma and Grandpa's fence just about the
perfect size for a little face to peek through into the neighbor's yard.
