2 Knights and a Princess: Trick or Treat!!

Caleb and Sophie love Halloween. They have been talking about since school started and Caleb has his costumes picked out for the next 5 years or so. They both have Halloween shirts that they have been wearing frequently for the last couple of weeks. Sophie has worn pants more often than not which is unusual for her. Typically she will not wear pants and chooses a 'princess' dress or a skirt but if I gave her the Halloween shirt she very willingly put them on.

Caleb and Sophie had a great time with the pumpkins. I usually buy 2 so they can each draw a face. They both helped scoop out the seeds so I could roast them. This year I put sugar and cinnamon on half of them. I prefer them with salt but Sophie loved the sweet, roasted seeds.

They both drew faces on their pumpkins so I could cut them out and were so excited to put candles inside so they could glow.

This year I was pleasantly surprised when he chose to be a knight instead of a superhero. He does have numerous superheroes on his list for years to come. Sophie was a princess, no big surprise there. Silas was going to be a lion, since we had that costume already. But I decided that since we had a knight and a princess, we needed a dragon. And what a cute dragon he was! Here he is, a day shy of 8 months, and already trying to get to the candy.

Here's Sophie's photography skills again...she is always stealing my camera and taking pictures. Here she caught the dragon and I having a little quiet time before it was time to go trick or treating. Silas then slept the entire time we were out trick or treating so that worked out well! Of course it is now 9:30 and he does not appear to be tired at all...
