Last year, Evan was so little that I didn't bother with a costume for Halloween. This year, I went full steam and made the costume, bought a candy sack and took him to a trick or treating party at a local outdoor shopping plaza in our area. And even though he is older this year, let's face it, the festivities are really self-serving. I'm the one who gets a kick out of dressing him up; I'm the one who's going to eat the candy (and maybe Jason if there's any left); and I get to show off the pictures. Even so, I think Evan still had a good time. We met up with his friend Tai, who dressed up as a younger version of Tiger Woods. The two boys got comments from nearly every passer-by. Evan, as you can see, was Bamm Bamm from the Flintstones. I wanted a no-fuss costume, but it didn't really turn out that way. The hat kept coming off-- who knew that barrettes won't stay in a little boy's hair? And his shoe covers were not very well attached. Oh well, it was great for the photo op. And really, that's what it's all about. ;)PS-- the picture above is taken at our house before we went out. I wanted at least one picture au naturel, but put a shirt on him before we went outside-- it's only in the 60s here and I am a responsible mommy. Tai's mom Yuki took more pictures of the event, so I'll post those later.

You are so clever and Evan is so sweet you could dress him in anything and he would look good.
Bamm Bamm is a very cute idea for Evan's costume. We will be dressing Cole and Chris up for Halloween and then not go trick or treating! It is definitely all for the parents and pictures these first couple of years;)
