halloween 2012

So... as everyone knows. I am a very last minute planner, and I could not decide for the life of me what Kala and Benson should be for halloween. So the day of our ward trunk or treat... i had to make a decision... and LUMBERJACK IT WAS for kala! Haha. I just wanted to draw a beard on Kala's face. and not to toot my own horn, but dang Kaulana and I made one cute kid! We had a little shirt with tiny pine trees on it for Benson and put him in brown pants, so he was Kala's tree for the trunk or treat. Kala was very overwhelmed by all the costumes, especially the masks. He WOULD NOT speak a single word to anyone with a costume, but said "trick o treat" and "dant-doo" to everyone he deemed ... not scary. He caught on real quick and wanted to get to every car. To say that he was excited on halloween is an understatement. He had such a blast walking from house to house with his friend Gavin. He insisted on walking even when he was getting so tired. He finally was just walking so slow that we finally convinced him to let us carry him. After about an hour and a half of trick or treating... yes that long. Gavin sat in his stroller and proceeded to tell him dad that he was done, because he had enough candy. So we headed home. and Kala did not like this idea. He was so confused why we were skipping all these perfectly good houses on our way home! He kept saying "NO! trick or treat! No trick or treat!"  The next day we were driving in the car and I went the opposite direction from what we had walked the previous night while trick or treating and Kala started BAWLING. He kept telling me I was driving the wrong way and that we needed to go "that way" to go trick or treating. When we got home and he saw the huge bowl of candy from trick or treating the night before, he was all smiles again realizing... yes the best part is STILL in our kitchen. On Halloween we made Benson Tigger, the same costume Kala wore for his first halloween when we lived in hawaii... Yes Benson is three Months younger that Kala was. and Yes it fits him just about the same as it did Kala. He was such a sweet heart the entire time. He slept half the time and was all smiles the other half. He LOVED all the commotion and lights. He was sure one cute little tiger. I deem this halloween was a success!

he loves just wearing his gloves and hat around the house. even if he insists on not wearing other clothes. he is CONSTANTLY wearing the gloves and hat. glad he likes them!

It was so cute watching Gaving and Kala knock on the doors. Gavin would knock on the door... well it was more like POUND on the door. Man he was gonna knock that sucker down. He meant business. It was hilarioius.

yes this is the kind of mother I am... the day after Halloween this is what breakfast looked like... a bowl of cereal, a sucker and had to have a movie to have a nice laid back morning... judge me :)

he was in love with his monster teeth. he STILL talks about them all the time... even though I secretly threw them away because I was sick of all the gross slimey slobber!
