Which pup are you?

For Halloween this year I decided that it was finally time to let the boys pick their costumes.  Adam at first decided that he wanted to be Batman, but then a few weeks ago decided he wanted to be a construction worker. I have no idea where he got the idea. We don’t watch Bob the Builder. But he was adamant, he wanted a toolbelt and all.  Malcolm’s answer for any question these days is Paw Patrol. His favorite is Marshall. Marshall is the fireman dalmatian dog who is super clumsy. Adam’s favorite is Zuma, the dog who goes underwater and scuba dives.  It is so interesting to see which of the 6 pups they choose. 
For Marshall we got some black dots to put all over Malcolm’s clothes and got a fireman outfit to put on top.  The fireman outfit was a huge success. 

Adam loved his toolbelt and hard hat. We even got him a pair of jeans.  Adam hasn’t had jeans since we moved to the Philippines so it took some convincing. I had to show him pictures of all the construction workers who wear jeans.  He wanted to be in character so he agreed.

We headed over to the Embassy for the Halloween party.  First up a scavenger hunt. Our friend Christine joined. Adam got all the clues right away and we completed the whole hunt! The prize, candy of course. 

Some of us were more interested in eating the prizes.

And some of us were really into the games.

We ran into another Paw Patrol Pup there, Sky! Who also happened to be Adam’s buddy from school.

Is there anything better than going through your Halloween loot the next day to see all the goodies you got? I remember Ari and I would dump our buckets out and look at all of our candy. We would make trades that would inevitably lead to me having 20 MaryJanes and Ari having all the Hershey chocolate bar (in case you are not versed in candy trades I was the loser in this trade).  It was like I was reliving my youth when I saw how adeptly Adam managed to move all the good candy into his pile leaving Malcolm with some stickers and all the candy with nuts.
