The Package and The UPS Man

This year was so much fun! Joey dressed as a package, which was his idea, and Charlie dressed as a UPS guy! (That was Sarah's idea, her hubby is a UPS driver-thanks Sarah!) The Thursday of Halloween week Joey's school had a costume party. He saw his friend dressed up as a Power Ranger-and Joey's eyes got big and he said "I really like your costume, wow". Seeing all his classmates all dressed up was so sweet! They all looked so cute. Joey's friend was dressed as a banana and there was another kid dressed as a monkey. That banana better watch out!

On Halloween, Grandma Mamie came to our house to tend to the other neighborhood kids so that Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf could take their kids around the block. (THANKS MAMIE!) Charlie was the most adorable UPS man I have ever seen. His little gloved hands holding his pumpkin bucket running down the sidewalk and talking made me smile so big! "happy hallwowwween" "twik o tweet" "thank youuu" We have a video too-see the previous post. Carrying the little "big" package after he was all worn out, filled up my heart for the next week! Grandma Mamie took the boys home with her to that we could go to a costume party. Tarrah's Halloween party is the best every year! Her costume was one of best I have ever seen! She is the blue one.

I had the super fun opportunity to work at the shop during the downtown trick or treating! It was a constant barrage of little witches, princesses, devils, bumble bees (the insect and the transformer), "scream", firefighters, ladybugs, dragons, dogs and cats, Thomas the Train, and a few unicorns. There was over 800 kids 2 hours! There were a few great homemade costumes- a Jack in the box, and a bulldozer-and I just want to say that is awesome. These parents put a lot of work into those costumes-great job! A special treat for me was to see Joey and Charlie all dressed up! Joey saw me and asked, "Mommy, why are you at trick-or-treating?" I gave away too much candy in the beginning and ran out with still an hour left! So far this has been the best Halloween for me.
