Casey's turn

Since Casey wasn't feeling well enough to trick-or-treat at the Wolf Lodge and he stayed with a friend during the harvest festival at Jacob's school... this week was finally his turn.  :)

Initially, Casey was going to be Toadstool alongside his big (Mario and Luigi) brothers.  The only problem was that Toadstool's entire outfit is the hat, which he REFUSES to wear.  It seriously stays on about 1/16th of a second before he hucks it across the room.  I finally gave up and bought him a little Thomas costume, since that is his true love.  ;)  It was a little bulky to play in at the YMCA, so he didn't wear it at first.

Then he realized that if he put his Thomas costume on (minus the hat ;) and held out his bucket, he would get candy.  So he decided that was a pretty good deal and became a instant fan of trick-or-treating.

 Casey with his buddy Ryan... they immediately both unwrapped their suckers first.

 CHEESE!

Then this morning, Casey got to dress up for his Little Gym class.  I decided to put him in the Tigger costume that Jakey wore when he was two, so it didn't get in the way of his climbing and playing.

 Time for hockey...

 and BUBBLES!

 Look mommy!  I caught one on my finger!

A blast from the past!
