Trick-or-Treat Shrek and Dronkey Style

Last night was trick-or-treating in Edwardsville, so Bill and I dressed the boys and went out on the town.  Actually, just to the Keller's subdivision.  Nolan has been obsessed with the color green and Shrek, so about a month ago I decided he would dress up as Shrek for Halloween.  What else would Carter dress up as than the noble steed, Donkey.  Since, the store didn't have Donkey in an infant size costume I ordered a Dronkey costume, Dragon and Donkeys baby.

I ordered the costumes online.  It was an ordeal.  Needless to say, I had to improvise Nolan's costume. I bought a green hat to replace the Shrek mask, which was not shipped with the rest of the costume.

I had Bill take pictures of the boys while they were getting ready at our house.

 Shrek was ready to go..

 Nolan watches Shrek too much because apparently he knows Shrek rides Donkey.  He plopped right on Carter's tail and said, "ride!!"  Bill and I laughed so hard!

 My happy baby boy!!

Our first stop, the Keller's house.  Madison and Grant had already been trick-or-treating and were handing out candy to the other kids.  Nolan and Grant didn't mind the cold weather at all, but I was worried Carter would become cold.  I asked Mark and Tiff if they would watch Carter, while Bill and I took Nolan to a few houses.  They said sure thing!

Nolan wanted to walk by himself and he did a good job.  Bill or I only carried him at the very end because he wanted to eat candy instead of walk.  He kept saying, "trick treat" while we were walking, but as soon as we would approach a door he would become shy.   After Nolan collected candy from the first house, he would arrive at the other houses and try to give them his candy! It was so cute.  If only he shared everything else.  Between Bill and Nolan I think there were only a few candy bars left by the time we made it back to the Kellers house.

 Here's some candy ma'am

Bill, Nolan, and I made it back to the Keller's safe and sound.  Carter didn't behave too badly while we were away.  Tiffany and Mark offered us their leftovers from dinner, so Bill and I accepted.  What great friends we have!! We invited ourselves over and were fed!!  We stayed and visited for awhile and then headed home.  The Halloween Parade is tonight, which I'm sure Nolan will thoroughly enjoy!!
