Iain had a great time for Halloween this year.  He got into the “spirit” of trick or treating and put on the charm at a number of houses in the neighborhood.  I was hoping he would be interested in helping out with pumpkin carving this year, but he was not.  He liked them when they were done though.

Costumes were a bit of work this year in the beginning, but worked out quite well in the end.  We were originally planning for him to be a pirate, he likes pirates.  When we went out the store to get a costume though, he hated the costume.  He also hated the fireman and pretty much every other one we tried.  He only showed interest in the skeleton costume, which they were out of.  Then  he found a hat, and he liked the hat.  In fact he put on the hat and proceeded to run around the store with it on.  It was an train engineers hat, and he likes his trains.  So we figured some overalls, a red cloth, and this hat would make a great costume.  He would not mind since it was just normal clothes, and it would look cute.  Sure enough the plan worked and with the edition of some face paint to give that sooty look we had our selves a costume.  I am not sure if train engineers wear red CROC’s or not though???
