I failed. I planned on taking lots of cute pictures of the boys for Halloween, but when the time came, I just didn't make it a priority. I was busy with everything else and Coulson's not really into cooperating for posed pictures, so I knew it would be a hassle getting the two of them together. But I did get a few pictures a couple days before when Coulson was going to a party. Sadly, I didn't take one single picture of Charlie in his pumpkin outfit - not a costume, just an orange outfit with pumpkins that says "Little Pumpkin." I suppose I can just dress him in it again and take a picture and pretend I took it on Halloween...
Coulson was originally going to be a fireman. We bought a costume that had a coat, hat and plastic fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher could actually squirt water, but I never told Coulson that. He had enough fun just walking around the house and pretending to put out fires without needing water. Anyway, the coat was soooooo huge and Coulson refused to wear the hat, so I made a last minute call to my sister-in-law to borrow Tigger. This is Tigger's third Halloween appearance. He was proudly worn by Brinton last year and by Lauren the year before that. I don't think Charlie will be ready for it next year, but perhaps Tigger will show up again in 2008.
And Coulson is doing a great job sharing. The first time I asked him if he would share, he said no. So I said that I would take away all his candy if he didn't share and he immediately and happily replied "OK, I'll share my candy." So now whenever he gets a piece of candy, he also gets a piece of candy for whoever else is around. I'm trying hard not to influence what he decides to give me and he's nice and usually gives me good stuff. Last night he gave me M&Ms, which are his favorites. He probably just hasn't learned that you're supposed to give away the stuff you don't like. He's so sweet like that.
