HALLOWEEN!!!

So, for MONTHS every time I asked Josh what he wanted to be for Halloween, I get the reply, "MOM! I don't want to be ANYBODY! I just want to be JOSHY!!"
OOOOOOKAY...
At first I was totally bummed, but then I figured, if he didn't want to dress up for Halloween, I wasn't going to make him. BUT- I continued to ask, just in case he changed his mind.
Tyler and I even asked the night before Halloween, and got the same response.
Fast forward to Halloween morning:
We wake up and announce to Josh that it's Halloween day, and we get to pass out candy that night to the kids that go trick-or-treating.
He got VERY excited and replied, "Oh GREAT!!! I want to be a DINOSAUR!!!!"
what?
Well, after about a million and a half calls to everywhere I could think of, there were no dinosaur costumes left in Colorado Springs in his size. shocker.
We did however, find one costume in his size, at pottery barn kids. (of course, the most expensive place to buy a costume.) A Gorilla!!! Tyler and I made sure to make a big deal about it, talking about how awesome Gorilla's are... he took the bait, and LOVED the costume.
Some pictures:





Instead of trick-or-treating around our neighborhood, we invited our neighbor and her little girl to head over to the trunk-or-treat at the church. Our ward, and another ward had the annual chili cook-off and decorated all the class rooms for the kids. It was a hit, a lot of fun.
(Yes, that's a banana-bag he's holding... cute.)
It ended up being a real fun night- After the trunk-or-treat, we came back to the house and Meghan (neighbor) and her daughter Summer stayed over and watched a movie and had some candy and pop corn.
Here's a picture of Summer and Josh after they were done gathering as much candy as they could.
