The kid friendly versions were only slightly more interesting to Jack.
Stuart picked out his costume again this year. Jack loves to walk around with his make-shift spears (mops, brooms, dusters, wrapping paper tubes, etc.) So, he thought this would at least give him a pitch fork to play with for the evening. He broke the first one a couple of weeks ago, so we had to buy a second one for Halloween. They are great for hard to reach places in the house.
We didn't think he would wear the hood, but he was so excited to run through the streets, he didn't try to take it off all night.
I think the outfit is very appropriate.
He actually ran into one house and had to be dragged back out before he destroyed anything. Another neighbor made the mistake of offering Jack his choice of items from her candy bowl; Jack grabbed a bunch and threw it in her driveway. I think he just loved running wild in the street and checking out all of the Halloween decorations. The last house we visited had a dog and that just made his evening!
He really doesn't have any interest in the sweets, he just likes the sound the wrappers make. Our home is covered with Nerds candy because Jack liked the way they shook in the boxes and played until he got them open and dumped them everywhere.
He was more interested in chasing the only other 2 kids on our street then trick-or-treating. He played with cars in the driveways, tried to re-landscape some yards, and fell into the street multiple times.

We got very few trick-or-treaters. This was mainly due to the fact that there was an elaborate street party with very cool haunted houses a few blocks from us that drew the crowds away from us. As a result, we have tons of candy left. Can I send it to anyone out there? Anyway, this was so fun for us all. Last Halloween, Jack was only 2 months old, so this was his first trick-or-treating adventure. It didn't last long, but then again it was way too hot to be out in such a warm costume.

What a cute little devil - pun intended! Uh, send some Butterfingers down this way! I purposely got candy I don't really like - and we have 99% of it left (I ate some Runts and Banana Laffy Taffy). We had zip, zilch, zero, nada come for candy!! Stacy, Sheri and Kim will be sorry - I'm going to give all the candy to their kids!
He is so cute! I love the pumpkins, where did you get those? Are they like the Mr. Potato head pieces? Ryan refused to dress up or trick or treat for the first hour for some reason. He finally did and had a blast riding around the whole neighborhood on the rhino!
I love the costume. Too cute. It's fun to take them out trick or treating when they are that little.
I remember taking Jared Ammon when he was about 3. He was truly amazed. After EVERY house he'd run back to me and shout: "look, they give me candy." He was surprised every time.
It was hot out. I can't believe it's the end of October and it's still so warm. Poor sweaty kids in their costumes.
I love his costume! I wish I had seen that for Evan. And I love your shirt :)
