It's a Bird...It's a Plane

...It's Superman!!!!


We decided to go a simple route with Colin's outfit this year...there were a few really cute costumes that I wanted to buy (like a dino - it would have been so cute cause he can roar!) but we knew that he would not be very cooperative with anything that goes over his head. Hats are such a hard thing to get him to wear. A while back, Grammie had sent us two cute pajama sets of Superman (cape and all) and Batman (that he had not worn and were a little big but worked)! Yes, Will was very excited when those came in the mail! We thought that Colin would make an adorable Superman and Batman.
On Friday he wore his Batman outfit for school/daycare (they were having a little Halloween party). He looked so cute! Black is not a color that he usually wears and I thought it looked really good on him. Over the next few years, you will probably see more black filtering into his wardrobe! I only have the one picture of Batman and you cannot really see the outfit, but he looks adorable!

On Halloween, Colin did not make it to far with the actual trick or treating, but he did make a few stops. We stopped at Grandfather B's first and Colin charmed all in his Superman costume (he even had Superman's little curl across his forehead - thanks to daddy)! He did not learn to say "trick or treat" but he still lifted his bucket up (while repeating "ball" - the shapes are similar) and got some candy! He was more excited about two little light up toys shaped like a pumpkin and a ghost. They entertained him all night! Thank you Patty!

We then stopped at Grandma Liz's house. We got to see Colin's cousins, Ryan and Brady, who were adorable as Captain Jack Sparrow and a tiger. Liz made a delicious minestrone type soup for us and just had a wonderful night! Colin got his fill of chasing around Rusty (poor dog) who was dressed for Halloween as well. Lil C had his first lollipop, which he LOVED! That was actually the only piece of candy he had all night...daddy got the bulk of it :)
Our last stop was at Aunt Wendy and Uncle Eric's. Our nephews were adorable as Bumble Bee (transformers) and a Clone Trooper (Star Wars). They were both very sweet and gave Colin some of their candy (which made Uncle Billy very happy). He also got a very cool fire truck that makes noise and lights up...this entertained Colin on the drive home...over and over...Thank you guys! Just teasing - Colin loves it!


What a wonderful Halloween, maybe next year we will attempt to trick or treat at homes outside of our family!
