Happy Halloween, Mama!

The costume originally had a 'head', but it wouldn't stay put on this little Pteranodon's head

Yes, I'm well aware that we are discussing Halloween on December 5th. Westin got into Halloween this year, and he will still run up to me and say, "Happy Halloween, Mama!", almost immediately followed by "Happy Christmas!" or "Happy Honnah" (Interpretation: 'Honnah' = 'Hanukkah').

Noni made this costume for Webb. It was perfect! Thank you, Noni!!!

This year Westin chose his own costume. We were a bit surprised that Westin passed up a T-Rex* costume, for a Tiny, the Pteranodon** costume, but it worked and he was super happy!! Webb was a dinosaur egg.

It was a beautiful and mild night and Westin really got into 'Trick-or-treating'! He would run up to houses saying, 'Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy!'. He was so cute that many folks gave him extra candy***. And for those bold houses that had non-candy treats, he would stand there and ask, 'Where's the candy?'....clearly, we have to work on that. But he said thank you for everything and we almost made it completely around the block before he asked to go home. It was a great time and we were so happy that Aunt Shannon could share the evening with us!

*T-Rex is Westin's favorite dinosaur. He often stomps around the house, roaring and yelling, 'I'm a T-Rex!'.
**For those unfamiliar, Tiny is a character in PBS's Dinosaur Train. Whoever thought to marry dinosaurs and trains into one cartoon are pure magical geniuses!!!
***Seriously, extra candy for a two year old??!! Well, it gave us plenty bribes rewards for potty training.....
