YMCA Halloween

This Halloween, we have a couple of Routsong Superheros!! Jaxton wanted to be Batman, and Cooper wanted to be Spiderman. I was going to make their costumes, but decided that being a beginning seamstress, my homemade costume would never really look as good as a store bought one. So, I found some inexpensive costumes in size 6X that looked awesome. (The toddler sized costumes always don't look as good). So I purchased them each a costume in 6X and went to work with the sewing machine to alter them to their sizes. So, I did get to kind of sew their costumes, even though I just altered them to fit. I added a batman symbol to the back of Jaxton's cape, and covered his fireman boots with black material to create tall batman boots. Cooper put his spiderman socks over the top of his shoes so he would have spiderman feet and I cut his mask which originally covered his entire face. He couldn't breath well and his snot was getting his mask all wet all the time because of his constant runny nose. So I cut it around his nose so it wouldn't bother him, and widened the eye holes so he could see, and he never wanted to take that mask off the entire evening!! The YMCA has a Halloween party every year where the kids get to play games to earn candy. So we spent the evening looking at all the cool costumes, playing games, and eating candy!

Here is Batman!!

And here is Spiderman!!!
Here are the superheros doing an obstacle course game in order to earn some candy.

Here they are playing hot potato with a pumpkin. There were lots of spidermans this evening, but I still think Cooper looked the best of all the spiderman want-a-be's!

Jaxton & Cooper ended up being the last 2 in the hot potato/pumpkin game. So they were passing it back and forth till the music stopped. Then they got to dig into the candy bowl!

In this game, Cooper is a mummy, and Jaxton is dressing the mummy. They have no idea what mummies are so I think they thought this game was a little strange, using toilet paper to wrap up in. It was funny to watch. Cooper volunteered to be the mummy, so Jaxton went to work to wrap him as best as his little 3 year old hands could do!

Then, they played "Put the stem on the Pumpkin." Cooper was quite a bit off, as was Jaxton. They both put the stem about 3 feet to the left of the pumpkin! Silly kiddos! They were blind and dizzy.

Here are the rewards they reaped tonight!! Buckets full of sugar!!
