Pirate day- notice the facial hair

Emmett had quite a Halloween this year. We went to 5 Halloween events. At Sewall school, Christine's pumpkin play date, The Children's Museum Boo fest, Trick or Treatin' with the Sloans and Colfax Trick or Treating with the Murphy's! He wanted to be a zebra again this year so I wasn't planning to buy a costume for him, but one day he decided he was going to be a zebra that turns into a bat. (there were sound effects to this request-it sounded a little like... Fff. Fff. Fffffff.) SO I found a five dollar bat costume and he got to switch wearing them depending on the day. He also wore some of his pirate costume on the really unseasonably warm day while trick or treating on Colfax. Wes made him a cool moustache and goatee as well. But funny enough, I don't ever wear eye makeup, so all I had was a purple eyeliner pencil- so he looked a little like the purple villain from strawberry shortcake. 

Last night, we went to Arvada to The Sloan's house and trick or treated in their little neighborhood. We had so much fun and Wes and I realized we had officially felt like parents- I think Trick or Treating with the kids is some sort of parental milestone or something. Kenzie also got in on the action dressing up as a ballerina and a polar bear. (We are pretty sure we saw Sarah Palin hunting from a helicopter, but Kenzie was well protected.)
