Sleep, Halloween and motos in the woods

When the boys fall asleep, they just drop dead. I mean, they fight a great battle for a long while but when their bodies give up, well ... that's it.

Halloween brings out Owen's creativity like nothing else. He always comes up with the BEST costume ideas and we, as a family, try to do our best to make costumes with our own hands as well as use what we already have.
I can only recall of his very first Halloween, he couldn't talk obviously, when he didn't have any input in his costume at all and I had fallen in love with a very particular pumpkin costume on Ebay, which Ty ended up wearing in time. The 2nd one was a hand-me-down from friends, which Owen really liked anyway. Of course, Ty wore the same 2 for his first 2 Halloweens.
Here is a recap of Owen and Ty's choices in the last 5 years (well, Ty decided only last year for the first time), plus their first costume because they were so cute in it!!!

This year, Owen wanted to be an ice cream cone. Ty then said he wanted to be an ice cream sandwich but then changed his mind after finding Owen's old garbage truck costume in the basement. So here they are in preparation for this year, Owen the ice cream cone and Ty the garbage truck:

the hat is the "cherry on top"

He wouldn't stop making crazy faces for the pictures ... this one is the best ... he looks like a Dr Seuss character!
