We're Off to See the Wizard!

I thought it was only appropriate for the Oz's to go as character's from the Land of Oz for Halloween. It was so fun to see Karson and Brady so excited about Trick-or-Treating! They had a great time and looked adorable if I do say so myself!

Karson was easily coaxed into getting into her costume. It simply took a bribe of promising to spray her pigtails with hairspray. She was excited about carrying Toto as well.

Brady, on the other hand, did NOT want to put on his costume. But, after a little bit of bribing (of promising to go to Grammy's house and eat some cake) and a few tears, he gave in. After seeing himself in the mirror, he was excited. Actually, I think he was excited cause he got to wear some of mommy's make-up! (It's okay; it was just a little eyeliner for whiskers and brown nose)
Daddy helped him get into character by helping him practice his roars!

I'm so proud that I finally found some ruby red slippers without having to resort to eBay!
But the used lion costume did come first class mail from one T. Lopez in Chicago. Who knew lion costumes in 2T were so hard to come by!

I didn't get pics of this (for fear of retaliation) but it was Papa (Jeremy's dad) who got Brady to finally wear his mane. Papa wore it himself until Brady was convinced that it was "cool."
Brady kept saying, "I ready to go Mommy! I ready to go!"

Dreaming of candy!

Cousin Cavin stopped by for a few minutes on his "Trick-or -Treat" route. He was a Texas Ranger. Needless to say, we all were arrested at least once or twice that evening!

And we're off to our first house!First stop: "Onnie's" house. Lonnie and Donna's house actually--they live next door.
The night before Halloween, we practiced what to say when someone answers the door. They were shy at the first couple of houses. But by the end of the night, they got the hang of it!
