Trick or Treat

I love Halloween and I love seeing all the little kids in their costumes. I had a hard time finding a costume that i loved for Jete to wear. They are all pretty cute, but there's not a lot of unique ones. Well, i finally thought of one. The only trouble was that i'm not so crafty and i didn't know where to find a chef's outfit. I couldn't find one, so i had to make it. Ern, thanks for the idea on the jacket. It turned out to be pretty easy, especially for someone that doesn't know what she's doing.

We dressed Jete up last year, but he was only 3 months old, so this time he got to go out trick or treating and actually get candy for us. Yeah! Anyways, i really love Halloween and trick or treating, so i wanted to document Jete's first time trick or treating.

Starting out, he didn't know what to think. We just put the hat on him and weren't sure how long it would stay on. He doesn't like to wear hats, so i was a little nervous, but he didn't immediately pull it off. Yay!


The full outfit.





Trick or Treat!



Here's some of Jete's friends that he went trick or treating with. A cute little chick and monkey.
Jeter didn't really understand the whole concept at first. He would walk up to the people and they would hold out the candy for him, and he would just look at it. After a little bit, (we let him eat one of the candies after he got it) then he started figuring things out. He started having fun once he figured out they were giving him treats!

Off to the next house!




Jackpot!!!




When he saw this box out in the middle of the driveway, he knew exactly what to do! He started unloading all the good stuff. Too bad the people that owned the house and treats were sitting out in their driveway watching, so we couldn't let him take them all. :( Dang it. We all got a good laugh though.


The best Halloween costume i saw goes to Huey, Duey, and Luey from Ducktails. I'm sad i didn't get a picture of them. They were the cutest little things with a big ol' duck bum waddlin around. Loved it!!! What were some of the cute ones you guys saw?

    A couple of highschool boys came to the door with their "little brother" he was wearing a white sheet over his head and you could see his jeans and shoes. The older boys said trick or treat for the little boy, he wouldn't move a muscle, so we thought he must be kind of scared (who was about 3 feet tall) anyway, we gave the boy some candy, and then the older boys picked up the little boy by the back and started to walk off...the little kid was FAKE! HAHA it was dang funny, that was probably my favorite.

    How cute!!! You are crafty!! I never knew. I attempted to make Kallie's first few costumes, I have decided it is cheaper to buy them and even cheaper than that to dig them out of the 'hand-me-down' buckets!! Halloween was way fun this year for us too the kids loved it!!

    Very cute costume idea; Halloween must make the creative juices flow. I hear you get to see Karlie, I'm jealous, but have fun.

    I love Jete's little Chef costume...good job Cin! I can't believe he kept the hat on! Lexie hated her pirate hat she wouldn't even put it on.

    Cin, that costume turned out so cute. I will probs have to call you and see how you made it so I can copy the idea for a different time. I didn't see any awesome/creative costumes this year. There was this "Old Couple" at a party we went to, and they did an awesome job. The guy had his shirt tucked into his pants, left his zipper open, and then had his shirt coming through where the zipper was. It was the goods.
