Landon was a fireman, like his Papa. (Josh's dad is a retired fireman) His costume looked exactly like Papa's uniform/gear/outfit thing. I have pics to prove, to be posted in another post to come!
Jillian was Little Red Riding Hood, simply because my mom found the costume at ridiculous price at a consignment shop and it was the right size.
Both kids really got into it this year! Next year will be even more fun when Jillian really "gets it."
Funny note that shows personality differences in my kids...... I had run back to the house to drop off a few things and get some coffee. When I returned, my cousin was carrying Landon's bucket of candy because "he was running out of energy" and it was too heavy. Jillian on the other hand, refused to let Josh carry her bucket even when it took both of her hands/arms to carry it because it was so heavy.
Here's the night's events! ------
My cousins, one in middle school, one almost in middle school, really really really didn't want to go to school the day after Halloween. So much so, that they prepared a presentation! Originally intended for their parents, but my Aunt told them if they really really really wanted to stay home, then they would do the presentation in front of all the family at dinner. To be honest, the older one (who organized the presentation) should be on a debate team or something. Her argument was well organized, well supported, and convincing.

Front row: Little Red Riding Hood, Fireman, Flapper
Jillian was very enthusiastic about saying the "key" words while I took photographs.
Landon was quite preoccupied with the groups of kids walking by.
Look at her pigtails!!! Love.
Look at his lost, vacant look!! Wha???
Jillian putting in her first piece of candy.
Landon, still looking at the groups of kids and dogs.
Precious.
Okay, so by the time we got the picture of the four of us we had totally lost their interest. Although, I don't know that we really ever had Landon's in the first place.
Finally has her hood on!
Holding hands, per request for the photo. But wouldn't slow down for another stinkin' picture.
Landon's costume had light-reflecting/neon-yellow tape on it. Great for trick-or-treating in the dark. Not so great for pictures.
Jillian couldn't keep up with Landon and the older kids. But she was determined to walk the whole way. And Jillian preferred Daddy over Mommy for trick-or-treating. Almost completely refused to walk up to a house holding my hand. Apparently I'm already not as cool as Daddy.
Eating their loot!
A giant bag of candy for two toddlers who think ONE M&M is a treat!
