Happy Halloween!

Last night Jason and I went over to Josh and Shannon's to take the boys trick-or-treating.  We got off to a bit of a late start, so it was dark outside, but it was still a good time.  Gavin was Darth Vader (he didn't want to wear his hat).  He seemed pretty intrigued with his bucket.
Garrett was Buzz Lightyear.  He was so excited Josh had to hold him back from running outside!  Garrett kept asking "is it Halloween yet?"  I guess he didn't realize the entire DAY was Halloween, not just when you go trick-or-treating!
I was trying to get a good picture of Garrett, but he was looking at his wings in the reflection from the glass door... oh well, you get the idea.
Here is Buzz Lightyear at his first house.  He made sure to get candy for Gavin everywhere he went too.
Jason soon became Buzz Lightyear's best friend.  The common statement was "come on Jason, let's go!"  He had to run from house to house too... walking just wasn't fast enough!
Jason took Garrett through a little haunted house that one of the houses in the neighborhood creates every year.  There is a chainsaw at the end of it that usually chases people out, but they don't do it with the little kids.  When Jason and Garrett got out of the haunted house, Jason said "well that was boring..." and Garrett just said "where's the chainsaw man?"  I think he was disappointed the chainsaw guy didn't chase him... he would have liked it.
Gavin had a great time in his stroller... he's one of the happiest babies I know... even when it's past his bedtime!
This was the best picture of both of the boys together.  Garrett's attention span was a little short by the end of the night, and he wouldn't stop to take another picture after this one.  Shannon was trying to fix Gavin's hat, but alas, you can't get boys to hold still very long!
So instead, I just took a picture of Gavin by himself.  Like I said, he's a pretty happy kid, and this was at the end of the night right before they went to bed!

It was a fun night really, and we ended up getting some candy by default too.  Garrett is only allowed to have certain kinds of candy, so Shannon made sure to fill a bag of candy for me that Garrett's not allowed to have anyway. :)
