Sam's favorite book last month was Library Lion, so I decided that he would be a lion for Halloween, and Ryan and I would be the two librarians from the book. Unfortunately, I woke up with a cold on Halloween morning, and decided it wouldn't be worth the effort for Ryan and I to dress up (I think Ryan was relieved). I made Sam's costume this year by turning a furry-lined coat inside out and sewing a mane, wrist fringe, and tail onto the coat. Ryan added the face paint for the finishing touches. Now that Halloween is over I will strip all the decorations off and turn Sam's coat right side out so he can wear it, although I think he'll be pretty upset that his "lion coat" is gone.
Getting his face paint done. He loved holding the mirror by himself to look at his evolving face!
At "Boo at the Zoo" before Halloween with his buddy, Saiji.
So ready to trick or treat! He was so excited!
Who is that lady dressed like a cat?
It's Andrea! And she has CANDY! Hooray!
Not like this actually needs to be said, but I will probably end up eating most of Sam's candy. And surprisingly, we had a lot leftover ourselves. There were only 2 or 3 other groups out trick-or-treating that we saw during the hour we were out. Is trick-or-treating not as big a deal in Utah? Or is it just our neighborhood? In any case I was quite surprised. But not at all disappointed that I have lots of Milk Duds to finish off. Yum... Why are they called Milk Duds? They are definitely not duds, if you ask me.

I think it was just your neighborhood, we had a lot of people out around our house! Sorry you're sick. :(
I was told it's because eveeyone does trunk or treating around here. We only got 1 group last night.
It's South Salt Lake.. only certain areas get hit. I never even buy candy because we hardly get trick or treaters.
I love his costume! (:
