  2. I love the superhero theme!! I'm not sure what we're going as this year. My boys are still young, and the past two Halloweens they cried when we got them into their costumes. We may be trick-or-treating as a blogger and her babies :) We get candy for that right?!

    1. Hey, that would work! lol Maybe you can choose costumes that don't require a hat or mask. My oldest was funny about not wanting anything on his head when he was little.
