Hey, psst… Guess what, Little Brother? Tomorrow is HALLOWEEN!!!
Well, actually, Halloween’s not for two days. But since it’s on a Sunday this year, Mom and Dad are letting us go trick-or-treating THE DAY BEFORE!!!! Which is TOMORROW!!!!
Do you know what that MEANS?!?
THAT MEANS we get to dress up and get CANDY!!!
Really? That sounds quite wonderful! And did you say we get to dress up?
Yep! That’s right, Little Brother! You can be whatever you want… Well, as long as you want to be a cute little bumblebee.
A bumblebee? No, no, no! I want to be…
… thaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!
Hmm… You want to be Goliath?!? I don’t know, Little Brother… You’re only two feet tall. I don’t think that would work.
I could do it, Bubbers, I swear I could!
See? Look!
I’m so tall! Don’t I look like a giant??
Weeeell, I don’t know, Scooters… It might be safer to stick with the cute little bumblebee.
Okay, if you say so… And what about you, Bubbers? What are you going to be?
Ooohhh!! What am I going to be? I’m going to be something terrifying!!!
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Our neighbors will never look at me the same way again!!!! Mwah-ha-ha!!!!

The next night:
Note: I’m holding Mommy’s hand! And FOLLOWING her! I NEVER do that!! It’s amazing what the promise of food will do to me… :):)
Note: My kung fu death grip. They’ll never get this thing away from me!!
“I LOVE to ring the door bell and get candy, but no thanks to saying ‘trick-or-treat’.”
“Aaaahh-yuck!! Scooters did a big ol’ raspberry right in my face!!!”
Operation Halloween 2010: SUCCESS!!

So cute! I can’t believe how big Bubbers is looking! He looks like a little boy now! And your little bumblebee is adorable. Glad you guys had a good Halloween!
Awww, I love the boys’ costumes! And I loved the “kung fu grip” Scooters had on his bucket! Trick or Treating is so fun that first year that they’re old enough to walk up to the door and get the candy themselves! I loved watching the wonder on Lizzy’s face when she was that age and her little bucket got heavier and heavier with goodies. ;)
Darling story, you should be a writer! :-)
