This is how Austin participated!
Our festive little porch!
The Costume
I was so bummed when Austin's costume finally got to us. He HATED it! He would scream and cry anytime I even tried to put it on him. Luckily, it got here a month ahead of time, so we had a good amount of time to work up to wearing it for trick-or-treating! Most attempts to get him to wear his costume ended up like this:

When I could get it on him, it usually only lasted about 5minutes before the screaming started.
Halloween Night
I decided that I better get some "real" dinner in Austin before we headed out for trick-or treating (assuming that I would be able to get his costume on for at least a few houses). At the end of dinner, Austin kicked his chair over. I tried to catch him, but wasn't very successful. He landed smack on the tile floor.
After some damage control and recovery time, we were able to get him in his costume and head out the door for some trick-or-treating. We just went to a couple houses. Austin got the hang of it rather quickly. He even knocked on a few doors himself, and would say "Please!" as soon as they opened the door. Once he realized they were putting candy in his bag, he would take it out and say "More." It was pretty darn cute. So, here are the pictures you have all been waiting for...our little bear!

Cute! That is one big bump on his head. I'll have to come over and see it in real life. I don't think Dave made it to your house with the kids. Once the kids start complaining that their buckets are too heavy, Dave brings them home.
Justin is looking very determined on making that pumpkin into a masterpiece. :)
Looks like your Halloween was grand. Sorry about the bump on the noggin'....it happens all too often around this joint!
I've said it before and I'll say it again....that little guy is ADORABLE!
Have a great day, Emily
