{Halloween}

This year Wil just had to be a pumpkin.
With his cheeks it would have been wrong to do anything else. He played the part well.
As Beckett calls him 'Chunker Wil'.

Beckett was a bit tricky as we all remember last year's Halloween fiasco of putting his pirate outfit on 5 minutes before the trunk or treat and it didn't fit. (If you don't recall, this might help spark your memory.) So, I figured a nice non-invasive outfit like a train engineer. (What could be easier than a tee-shirt and some light overalls?) Well he was having none of it, and I had to bribe him all night to keep his hat on. While trunk-or-treating at the church party he spoke about 2 words the entire night, neither of which included the words trick, treat OR thank you. We kept walking around and I'd say, "Beckett, can you say trick or treat" and he'd stand there silent. Then I'd take a candy and say, "Beckett, what do you say?" and he'd stand there silent. Finally when people asked what he was dressed up as I told them he'd come as a mute train engineer. Yeesh. At least he looked cute.

i love those two...and I'm sure it was annoying that Beckett was mute but I think it's also kind of hilarious :)

McKay LOVED these pics. He got all excited with Wil's second picture and started screeching and waving his arms. He misses his cousins. Those pictures are so gorgeous of your boys!
