All because two people fell in love...: First Halloween

It must have been months ago that I randomly asked the kids in the car what they wanted to be for Halloween and right away Bradley shouted out "A T-Rex Dinosaur!" and without any hesitation Gracie immediately followed with "A Piggie!" Then Bradley asked her if she wanted to be a Daddy Piggie or a Baby Piggie and the answer was a Baby Piggie. It's like they had been thinking about it forever and they were totally ready for my question and it really surprised me. I thought there would be some discussion, but no - their minds were made up and there was no talking them out of it. I kind of even thought they would change their minds or forget since it was months away, but they were dead-set on their decisions. Which was fine with me, I actually really liked the choices, I think they suit them well, but it made it a little more difficult on me when shopping. It's not like we could just go look around and I could pick what was cute (and cheap) like in years past. They knew what they wanted and I had to find them. We did go out to the Halloween stores and I couldn't find either one so I had to order them online, which I actually liked A LOT better! It was SO exciting waiting for them to come in the mail and miraculously (because I had ordered from 2 different websites on 2 different days) they came on the same day at the same time!!! So that was VERY exciting, and luckily they fit perfectly! I am SO in love with Gracie's piggie and I'm hoping to keep it in tact (not like the rest of her clothes that she seems to ruin :) ) so that Sammie can wear it in a couple years.
Sammie's costume was much easier seeing that she couldn't care less :) I had bought a penguin costume from a consignment store when Bradley was a baby but then found something else I liked better and never used it. It fit Sammie perfectly and she didn't even seem to mind the hood (which surprises me because she will not wear hats!).
This was my first Trunk or Treat experience at Bradley's preschool. It was ok, not my favorite trick or treating, but it was nice. The kids got a little trick or treating in and I got to take pictures of them :)
