Anyway, here are some pictures of the boys in their Halloween costumes. Poor Logan, of the perpetual hand-me-downs, wore the monkey costume that Ben wore last year. Ben absolutely hated it, and wouldn't let me put the hood up. Logan, on the other hand, was a ham as always and had no problem with the costume.
As handsome and lovable as his face is, I thought he looked the cutest when he was crawling away from me, and his monkey tail wagged around.
Ben dressed up as Handy Manny. Manny is one of Ben's favorite characters (the only other one he knows is Mickey Mouse and his gang), and I thought it would be an easy costume because all it consists of is a t-shirt, jeans, and a toolbox. I learned my lesson with the monkey costume last year that Ben does not tolerate complicated (yet cute) one-piece suits with attached hoods. And, Manny's outfit is essentially what Ben wears every single day, including the toolbox, so I thought I'd hit a home run. The last thing I wanted to do was have a battle over what he was going to wear to the Moms & Tots Halloween party, which was on the Wednesday before Halloween.
Well, wouldn't you know it - on both the day of the party and Halloween itself, Ben refused to wear his "costume." I couldn't believe it! He didn't want to wear the green t-shirt, and you'd have thought the handle of his toolbox was covered in toxic acid because he refused to hold it. I almost broke down in tears a few times at the party, because isn't the point of going to a children's-oriented Halloween party just to show off how cute your kids are in their costumes? Ben was the only one not wearing a costume :(
Anyway, on Halloween itself Ben refused to pick up his toolbox again... until Daddy got home. Somehow Daddy, hero of heroes, convinced Ben to pick up the acid-laden toolbox.
He's even smiling in the picture. Hooray!
