At the beginning of October, we started asking Ola what he wanted to be for Halloween this year. He came up with so many different suggestions...Thomas the Train, Mater the Tow Truck, a trash truck, a he'e,...the list just kept getting longer. Finally, about a week before Halloween, we were sitting outside while Ola ran wild (in just his diaper, as usual) and Aho said, "You look like a little caveman baby!" And so it was decided...this year, Ola would be a caveman.
Trying to decide Kupa'a's costume was a little easier, since there weren't so many suggestions. Since he is constantly blowing bubbles, Daddy suggested he be a little papa'i, which gave mommy the idea to make him an opihi instead. If I was going to have to carry him around all night and have him stuck to me, i thought it just made sense.
Since Halloween fell on a Sunday, our church trunk or treat was held Saturday night instead. It was so windy and cold, Ola ended up wearing his costume over his clothes.
In preparation for Halloween, we worked with Ola on proper trick or treating etiquette, and I must say, he did us proud.
He was very polite, making sure to say trick or treat to everyone, and thank you too.
All though, a few times he was so busy checking out his goods, he had to be reminded to say his thank yous. But who can focus with all that candy?!?
He had such a blast playing with all the other kids in costume and collecting his goodies. By the end of the night, he was dragging.

And that's how we ended up with a wild cave boy and an opihi this year for Halloween.

Mommy and Daddy didn't dress up this year, although the ideas of Mommy being a rock and Daddy being a caveman were discussed. Maybe we'll all be in the spirit again next year. Who knows what costume ideas we'll have then.

So cute Gabs! Sina was an opihi for Halloween last year because, like your Kupa'a, she was stuck to me like glue all the time. :) I love the little "suction" part of the opihi costume (what is it called?). So creative!
