Hyrum was Superman, in case you couldn't figure that out. I made the cape a long time ago and he loves wearing it and running across the house, so I figured it would be perfect for Halloween since Sterling wanted to be Spiderman. Superhero theme.
And here is Spiderman in the flesh. His costume is just a pair of sweats that I embellished and I hoped and prayed there would not be someone at preschool with the real deal. Then there would be no end to the dissatisfaction. Luckily, no one else was Spidey so I didn't have to hear about how Sterling didn't have a mask or gloves or boots. That was lucky.
Sterling had a full day of Halloween festivities. At preschool they had a party complete with Trick or Treating and then we went out Trick or Treating after dinner. Talk about too much candy!! But the boys had a blast knocking on doors and toward the end Hyrum was even trying to say "Trick or Treat". It was really cute. He was so amazed that every door we knocked on someone gave him candy!! We worked hard at getting them to remember to say "thank you." Which basically means I prompted them at every door. "What do you sa-ay?" And, if the people were fast and already had the candy ready to give, they didn't even get "Trick or Treat" out. Oh, well.
The most amazing thing to me was we only went down three blocks and back three blocks and we got enough candy to fill two large salad bowls. Good thing I don't have any qualms about throwing candy away!! Does that make me a mean mother? Oh, well, add it to my list.

I'm really impressed! The costumes look great! I couldn't have done it. I threw away some candy too. It is a good bribe though to get her to do a little extra stuff around the house!
Ha ha! You crack me up! Lou thinks that throwing away candy is borderline sacreligious! I love their costumes and wow - I can't believe how big Hyrum is! He's already in nursery, isn't he?! I only saw him once, as a newborn, so it is so weird to see him all big and hearing about him going trick or treating! Thanks for sharing the photos. Oh, and by the way, holy crap Sterling looks so much like Brandon it is CRAZY!
I cannot believe that is Hyrum. He is so big I would never have known him. They are so cute and ofcourse their Halloween costumes are wonderful. You have a gift.
