Scallywag

Barrett was a pirate this Halloween. He chose the costume for himself after watching Garfield's Halloween special and getting pretty excited about Garfield and Odie's pirate costumes. We had a very full weekend of festivities, so we were all about comfort this year. I was able to make his shirt, pants, and belt, and we just found a little pirate accessory pack to finish off the look. He's pretty handy with that sword.

Getting psyched...

Our first event was trick-or-treating at Matt's office on Friday afternoon (You'll notice that Barrett wasn't much for posing this Halloween - I did my best).

Playing with the horses outside Dad's office after plundering for candy.

Trunk or Treat with our home group at the Village Church on Saturday night - BIG fun. Our group's theme was "bun in the oven," so we did a kitchen theme with chef's hats and aprons

Barrett with Marissa and Andrew (aka: Danger) - I LOVE this picture - thanks, Marissa!!On Sunday, Barrett was a CHAMP at trick-or-treating. This was Dad's first year to get to come along, and it was fun getting to go as a family. We couldn't believe it, but Barrett was all about going up to people's doors by himself. He seemed like such a big boy as Matt and I watched him from the sidewalk, but he very politely waited his turn, said "trick or treat" and held out his bucket. A couple times, he ran back down to us afterward yelling, "I got some candy!!!" So adorable - I got one good shot of him at a neighbor's door.
