Luke was a Pirate and Ella was his trusty Parrot!
Luke had a hat with a feather but we canceled the hat at the last minute because it was really too small for his head. He also had a sword which we forgot about until after it was all over. He was devastated! The black wig we tied with a red sash in the back looked so funny! He was pretty proud! He loved his vest with gold buttons which he came up with after watching Jake and the Neverland pirates on Disney.
Here is a pic of the parrot showing off her pretty wings. She also had a colorful tail so I was joking with her all night saying "Shake your tail feathers, Sista!" She loved her costume and was proud of her idea to paint her fingernails yellow like bird talons! Ha!
As always, we put up Halloween lights all around the front yard and started a fire in the fire pit so Lauren and I could stay warm while Craig and Lyle took the kids around the neighborhood. That is my favorite part! Getting to chit chat by the fire with my sister-n-law while passing out candy to some "questionable" trick or treaters! We drank hot apple cider and gossiped!
Before too long the pirate and parrot made their way home after a long voyage around the neighborhood.
They loved passing the candy out about as much as they liked getting it themselves.
Notice Luke's new picture face in the pic below....he does this almost every time I take a picture of him. He says it is his funny face.
Soon they were ready to go inside and dive into their candy! They quickly started trading!Uncle Craig made sure Luke got a good trade.
It was a great night but went too fast! It is really a blurr. I am going to have to find a way to slow it down next year. Halloween is my favorite holiday by the way!
GREAT costumes! You're a great mom;)
