Halloween 2013

Presenting: Oompa Loompa (Charlie & The Chocolate Factory) and Darth Maul (Star Wars)!

I put Raylan's Oompa Loompa costume together myself with girls stretchy leggings, a brown turtle neck, two long strips of elastic for the suspenders, a pair of men's brown socks that I cut in half and sewed to fit his little feet and lots of white duck tape! I always love getting a little crafty with Halloween costumes! 

Now Darth Maul on the the other had did NOT want me to make his costume! Amazon to the rescue once again :)

As usual, we headed over to Nana & Papa's house for a quick dinner and then hit the streets to round up the booty! Sawyer is definitely at the age where walking slowly with your little brother is out and running from one doorstep to the next is IN! 

After the first two houses, Raylan caught on really quickly to what was going on. He would march himself up the driveways, stumble up the front steps, bang on the door with his little orange fist and shake his bucket! Then they would drop a piece of candy in his bucket and he would plunge his hand into their candy bowl to help himself to about five more pieces and be on his way. And of course, at almost every house, he got compliments of, "He's the cutest one we've seen all night! Can I take a picture of him??"

After Sawyer had pretty much doubled his weight in candy, we headed back to the house to sort it. Raylan didn't like to sort candy. Every time Sawyer would start to get everything all laid out, Raylan would sit down in the middle of the pile and swipe it all over......oh the joys of little brothers....

Raylan's rascally or should I say naughty behavior continued as Sawyer and Uncle Alex tried to play Jenga. Raylan would just sit and wait till they had all the blocks set up, reach over and swat out the bottom of it. Papa was then put on Raylan patrol.  

The following evening, some friends hosted a little Halloween party 

and the green gecko, batman, oompa loompa and Darth Maul attended. 

What's scarier than an Oompa Loopma? An Oompa Loopma with a sword. 

I decided not to paint his face orange with the white eyebrows....considering the previous night we pretty much had to put him in a straight jacket in order to do it.

Tons of food, itchy costumes, Cards against Humanity and scary movies.....Happy Halloween Everyone!
