This year was no exception, and I scored these 2 cute costumes at Old Navy for $4 each the day before the Great Trick or Treat. I tried to convince AJ that he should be this adorable little lion, but he kept insisting, "no! I wanna be da frog!". The pick'ns were slim and there was only 1 costume in Owen's size - a purple dragon. But Owen doesn't care 2 hoots about stuff like that, so when I said, "hey Owen, ya wanna be a purple dragon for Halloween?" his reply was, "Weelllllll.....sure."
*sigh* I love that kid. If only he'll always be so easy going. :)
The best part of the day though, might be when AJ recited a complete monologue from "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" in the backseat of the car that afternoon. I didn't catch all of it, but apparently he has it memorized. I didn't want to say anything because I was afraid he would stop, so I held my breath and listened. And he said (with all the right voice inflection too): .
(in an earnest whisper): ..."and da Gate Punkin wiw rise out of da Punkin Patch an bing pesents to aw da boys and gurls...."
(yelling) "It's da gate punkin! I see it! I see da gate punkin!"
(in a confused voice) "Wha happened? Did the gate punkin come? Did he bring pwesents?"
(then he has to switch to the female voice) "YOU BOCKHEAD! I missed hawoween and its aw yor fauwt! *here began some unintelligible yelling in a high pitched female voice about missing Halloween, candy, and a few more "Blockhead!" comments thrown in.
I swear I'm not making it up.
By the time he was finished I was laughing so hard, and I said, "AJ! That was wonderful!" to which he grinned in pleasure and said, " sank you, mama. sank you," in his best showman's voice.
Hope you had a great Halloween! We did! :)

Old Navy sucks. It should be called Old Navel...Fuzz, or whatever ")
Old Navy most certainly does NOT suck, oh ye poopy-head-anonymous-commenter. Nasty, nasty...
Anyone that sells Halloween costumes as adorable as those for $4, in addition to tshirts, shoes, and other clothing that I can buy on clearance from change that I scrape out of the seats of my car is not sucky.
So there.
