Halloween 2008

James had school this morning, and as it was actually Halloween, they had a parade of kids in costumes and then a class party. Kaitlyn and I joined in the fun, and Kaitlyn got to dress up in her costume too, a white kitty. I must say, my kids were the cutest ones there! :)
James wore his monkey costume, the original costume that we had planned on for this year. I started second guessing myself after we picked out this costume since it's really made for the northern weather during this time of year, but alas, it has been on the cooler side in the mornings here in this dungeon of hotness we call Florida.
James received the "oh how cute" comments... and also, "I love the banana in his pocket" comments, but Kaitlyn, by far, won the "OOOOOH! How CUTE!" contest among all the Mommies at the parade. I was a proud mommy, very, very proud... especially since toward the end, parents were saying, "Oh! There is that white kitty again!" and smiling.
James was very proud of his costume, and wore it like a champ, or chimp, or whatever. I'm sure tonight will be fun too!
I just asked James what we should have for dinner... he said, "Roast beef and chicken." Hmmm... guess I have to go to Publix. After all, the only banana we have left is the fake on in James' monkey costume pocket. :)
So now it's 9:30 and I've uploaded my photos. The kids did very well with the trick or treating, I got to take them both around for about 10 houses, then Nathan took James around while I gave Kaitlyn a bath and put her to bed. They walked all the way over to Via Tuscany and got to see a HUGE blow-up black cat apparently.
Halloween is over for another year, and next year I hope to remember how much I actually like this day. I was over it for a while, but now that kids are in our lives, it's much more fun. It's also much more fun to pick through the candy that you're 1 year old can't eat. Mmmm.
