He's Flounder, He's a dino,... and He's having fun!

We had two costumes for Edric at hand so we thought it best to utilize them before he outgrows them next year. Flounder (from 'The Little Mermaid') was a gift from his cousin LJ and the dinosaur a gift from Pam's friend.

Oct 24 - Trunk or Treat at Church

Halloween activities at church have always been fun and this year was no exception. Edric went as Flounder. We also enjoyed watching some very nice trunk decorations as we went about trunk or treating. From there, we drove straight to New York to visit & spend the weekend w/ family.

Here, with friends Dawn & Rachelle (w/ her son Blake, the cutest bat in town)

Oct 31 - Trick or Treating

This time Edric was a dinosaur. He wore it at their Daycare Halloween Party earlier in the day and then later in the night with Daddy & Momma bringing him to doorsteps with his basket. In the pictures are; Aaron Michael (Scooby), Annika (Minnie Mouse), her brother Drew (he was a zombie but took off his custome w/ this shot, he was Darth Vader last year when Edric was Yoda), don't mind the headless chaperon (hey, it's Halloween - what'd ya expect!) w/ Edric & Yasmina the pretty pirate daughter of our friends Darren & Angie. At times Edric took his arm off from Daddy's hand to run around the empty neighborhood streets, stumping & roaring like the dino that he was. I think he had more fun this year. Like last year we also ended up at the McVickers where we enjoyed a nice time w/ their family on their driveway and of course Ken's warm & delicious soup. We also brought our bowl of goodies w/ us so trick-or-treaters got two treats from two families.

As for me, late last night when everyone else had gone home after getting their treats, I decided to get up and wandered around the streets to see if I could find my friend Casper... and maybe some left over treats that kids (or other creatures) may have dropped earlier.
