Halloween this year was...different for us. Everything is just a little...different when you live on base. On base, trick-or-treating was scheduled for the Saturday before Halloween. And Saturday just happened to be the rainiest, most bitter freezing day so far. Amazingly, we still had several people brave the awful weather (and the ominous marching soldiers patrolling the base for Halloween) to go trick-or-treating. We, on the other hand, decided to go trick-or-treating at the old folks home earlier in the day. We had gotten a special invitation from Jane's school. Jane and Beckham were both doggies for the occassion:)
All the darling old folks were eagerly sitting outside their doors with buckets of candy...it was so darn cute :)
Everyone got a smile and a few good laughs about the two sweet little puppies wandering around :) It made us feel good to see them smile, too!!
Jane and Beckham became experts by the end of the route at saying "trick-or-treat" and "Thanks, happy Halloween!" It was sooooo much fun!! This cute guy gave our kids double treats for being so cute :)
There was clown there as well who made AMAZING balloon creations. Beckham and Jane both got to pick their own colors.
They loved their wands. You can't see it, but Beckham's has a pumpkin on top and Jane's has a heart!!
Jane decided she wanted to wear her new Ariel dress to school on Halloween/Monday for her party and parade!!
Beckham and I were there front and center for Jane in her Halloween parade for school. She was darling :)
After the parade we were able to meet all the kids by the school playground for pictures. Here's Beckham sitting in a swing...aka giving his mama a break from holding him...he is soooooo hefty!!
Here's Beckham hugging his big sis :) such a sweet moment!!! I love my kids!!
Another Halloween come and gone...the first of our Dover Halloween memories!! Life is good!

That is the CUTEST idea...to go trick or treating at an old folk home. I bet those grandparents loved having little kids walking around. I'm going to do that with the boys next year. And at least they had people patrolling the neighborhoods on Saturday night. That would make me feel so safe! Too bad it was cold. :( I love that Beckham is hugging Jane. It's so great when siblings get along!
That is probably one of the cutest things ever!! I am totally going to do that next year too!! Love all the pics mare, makes me miss you all even more!
