Last night was Halloween, and the boys (well, Manny anyway, I don't think Christian cared so much) had so much fun.

Christian was "Captain Adorable". A couple of months ago, I found this super cute onesie that said, "Captain Adorable" on it. When Halloween started rolling around, I had no idea what Christian would be, John had the brilliant idea to turn that onesie into a costume.

Yesterday, before "trick-or-treating", I went to Michael's Crafts, and bought a cheap orange shirt, which I would turn into a cape, and some red felt, which I would turn into a mask. I think his "costume" cost me about $10 all together.

Manny was Buzz Lightyear. We were lucky enough to get a costume from a family friend, and we bought him an inflatable jet pack, which was $12. Over all, Halloween was very cheap this year ;)

We went "trick-or-treating" with the Penas family this year. We've been celebrating Halloween with them for the past 2 years, and it's amazing to watch the boys grow up together.

The first year we went, Manny was only 8 months old. He didn't even "trick-or-treat" per se, we just walked around with Austin and Edgar, and enjoyed the decorations. Manny was dressed as a lion.

Last year was the first year that Manny actually (sorta) grasped Halloween. He understood that if he knocked on the door, said "twick-o-tweat", strangers would give him something. He loved walking around with the older boys, and loved running up and down the street, but other than that, I don't really think he understood what was going on; he was dressed up as a golfer.

This year, was very exciting. Once all of the Halloween "stuff" started coming out, we bought him some Halloween books, and took him to the "scary" (what he called it) section of the stores, so that he could see what Halloween was all about. This was the first year that he truly "got it".

It was so much fun to go "trick-or-treating" with him. I started to get nostalgic about the years prior. I started thinking that next year Christian would be walking along side Austin, Edgar, and Manny.

Now that Halloween has passed, the rest of the year is going to fly by. I can't wait until Thanksgiving, and then Christmas - it is definitely going to be FUN!
