Max and the Phantom

Finley loves Halloween! From Jack 'o Lanterns to candy to costumes to trick-or-treating, he is ready to do it all over again right now. This year, Finn dressed as Max from Where the Wild Things Are, and he proudly growled "I'm Max!" and "Wild Things Are!" and "Wild Rumpus Start!" as we wandered through the neighborhood on Halloween night.




Ever since going to see Phantom of the Opera in August, Caden has been looking forward to dressing the part for Halloween. Mama made him an awesome silk cape, and he strode through the streets to the sound of the London Cast Recording playing on Dada's iPhone.


The Phantom set a great example for Max, waiting so that they could go up to each house together and always saying "Thank you!" Finn did well, saying "Trick or Treat!" and "Thank you!" His inner monologue caught up to him once, though. He headed up to a door and said, very clearly, "I want candy!" This year, we made it all the way over to the chancellor's house. 




We have been spending a lot of time at nurseries, getting plants for our backyard. Even in its semi-finished state, the boys are loving it!


And Finn is ready to play baseball, too.

Great costumes and sounds like a fun night and of trick-or-treating! Caden's costume would make grear bedroom wall decor.
