Cool Reptiles

Nate & I (with a little help from our Daddies) convinced our Moms to let us dress up as tough, manly, scary reptiles for Halloween instead of something weenie like an elephant (me) or a chicken (Nate). I was a dragon as pictured below on the right. I breath fire and say "Roar." Nate was an alligator, which is also pretty tough, but obviously a dragon would win in a fight against an alligator.


Luckily, this dragon and this alligator weren't having any fights. Instead we gave each other hugs and had a great time (no, we are not kissing - that would not be fitting for a dragon OR an alligator).


Here we are roaring (we weren't sure what an alligator says, so we went with "roar").


I had the magnificent idea to take the Escalade out for trick or treating. I would drive of course.

"What!?!! We can't take the Escalade? Why not???"


Our parents said that all the other kids would be jealous if we got to ride around in a car, them having to walk and all. So we compromised and decided to ride in the wagon, which isn't bad either. Here I am protecting my candy from Nate the Hungry Alligator.


This was our first stop on the candy trail. We had no idea what was going on at this point.

Soon we would discover the wonder of Halloween, going door to door saying please and getting buckets of candy


Mmmm....a little Reese's cup. I think I will eat it foil and all (it actually had a weird texture and metallic taste to it - I wouldn't recommend this from here on out!)

We loved Halloween and can hardly wait until next year.
