Buzz and the Bunny

Well this year there was no doubt about it, Hunter knew exactly what he wanted to be for Halloween. Buzz Lightyear of course. We looked around at different stores for the right costume but all of them seemed to be cheaply built and of course were missing a key piece in being Buzz...the wings. Hunter insisted that Buzz had to have wings and so we searched on. Finally I went online and found a very affordable very cute Buzz costume. I told Hunter that it would be coming in the mail so we could wait and watch for it to come. Yeah that was not the best idea. Everyday during that usual hour that mail would arrive he would perch right by the window waiting and watching. When the postman left without dropping off a package he would come in shoulders down and inform me that it had not come again and add that he was sure that it was never going to get here. Finally the day came and watching from his usual spot Hunter saw the postman walking up the driveway. Before I even knew what was happening he raced out the front door down the walkway stripping off his clothes and yelling, "it's here, it's here!" Poor frightened postman handed over the said package to the half dressed three year old and mom thanked him. Thank goodness that once we opened it is was indeed the costume or we would have had to have a repeat performance on a later date. I believe he has worn the costume everyday at some point up to Halloween night. As we got ready to go he was in full Buzz mode giving us some great action moves that were providing much comedic relief. So much personality in one little body. This year it was so fun because I hadn't talked with Amber yet and didn't even know until we got ready to go to Trunk or Treat that Brecken just happened to want to be Woody this year. Once we got these two together it was nothing sort of hilarious I guarantee you. They are quite the pair, they look so cute. Avery of course oblivious to the excitement of the evening and much more content to sleep the night away in her stroller made an adorable fluffy pink bunny. The costume was nice and warm against the chilly Prescott weather and I love the little floppy ears. It was so soft and snuggly to hold her in it plus it is pink how can you go wrong :) The trunk or treat was awesome and Ave just snoozed away happily even throughout my constant opening of the blanket to show her off. Hunter made a haul on his candy which is great for Deke and I since he will probably only see a piece or to. Ah Halloween it is the best isn't it?
