By this point, you are probably highly encouraging me to get on with it already.  Where are the boys in their costumes?  Without further ado, here they are.

Here you see a sword fight between the fierce Pirate Nicholas and the dreaded alligator Dexter.  Notice if you will, that Dexter is holding the blade of his sword and hitting his nemesis with the handle.

Next we have our trick-or-treaters, Alex the dragon, Dexter the alligator, and Nicky, the ghost pirate.  Alex and his mom Robyn joined us for trick-or-treating.  It was so cute because each had a role to play.  Nicholas would dash from house to house, get it and be gone as soon as humanly possible.  Alex, slightly cautious, would be next up to the door.  Dexter, whose alligator head kept falling over his face, would lollygag down the street, bringing up the rear.  By the time Dexter reached the door, Nicky would be at the next one.  Thank goodness there were four adults along to keep track of everything.

We ended the evening with a trip to Grandma’s house where got really hyped up from all the chocolate Grandma was slipping us.
