Trick more than the Treat

I had been knocking on wood for weeks now that we would not get sick. Well, our time was up and sadly it came for Halloween week/weekend. I think I was more bummed than the boys to have missed all the parties. The preschool party, ward party, Kyle's work party were all left wanting of the charm of my Three Musketeers.
That's right, for months now it has been my dream that the boys be the Three Musketeers for Halloween. I spent much of my spare time working on their costumes. It turned out to be more work than I thought, but I did get them done . . . right before they got sick. Well, after some mommy-pondering I realized it was my dream and not theirs, so I asked them to brave a few pictures and then they could be whatever they wanted to go trick-or-treating. Kekoa choose Spiderman (surprise, surprise) and Ikaika wanted to be Batman. Sepa would have been more than content with his musketeer outfit, but it looked at little sad all alone, so I stuck him in a warm frog suit. We knocked on about 8 doors and called it a night.
Though still sick, I tried to make it a fun night for the boys. Kyle brought home pizza and we made bat pumpkins and played a couple pumpkin games. I had monster cupcakes to decorate with them, but we all ran out of energy, so we saved it for Family Night instead.
Here are the pics to remember Halloween '09.

I've been waiting for this post. I liked the turnout of the costumes and such a great idea to make them the three musketeers. You did a great job (doing it yourself with no pattern). I'm sorry the boys got sick (poor Kaika, you can tell by his eyes). Sepa looks so cute in that frog costume. And the crafts you did looked like so much fun. I can't wait until Kaipo gets more independent so that I can so more things with Kono and him. All I ever do it seems is hold him. Poor Kono. Anyway, hope your boys are better.

Do is what I meant, not so.
