Halloween 2012

We survived another Halloween at the Courtright house! There were no big surprises for the kids' costumes. At first, Connor had a tough time deciding what he wanted to be this year. He considered Optimus Prime and Rafael the Ninja Turtle for a long time, but he ultimately decided on a REAL superhero for Halloween: one of our favorite Houston Texans, JJ Watt. I think he impersonates him quite well:
Connor as Houston Texan JJ Watt.

And let me tell you, we are JJ Watt-obsessed in this house. He is having an unprecedented year in the NFL and making such extraordinary plays for our team. But as great as he is on the field, he's an even more wonderful person off the field -- an incredible role model for kids like Connor.

Back to Halloween... I just assumed Kaitlynn would want to be a Disney princess for Halloween, but she never seemed to find one that she really wanted. Once Connor decided to go as JJ Watt, I asked Kaitlynn if she'd like to be a Texans cheerleader to cheer on her brother. She immediately lit up and so it was decided!

They looked great in their costumes! Although, it's no secret... you might find either of them in the same gear on any given day, ha!


Ready to trick-or-treat

As usual for our Halloween night, we took the kids trick-or-treating with many of the kids on our street. They were in a group of 20 or more, and it was so fun to see them go from house to house. Our neighborhood still amazes me... the number of families out on Halloween night is so cool!


How Kaitlynn travels from house to house.

Terrible picture of me, but I couldn't resist posting because I think Kaitlynn looks so much like her Dad in this picture!

Kaitlynn didn't last long for trick-or-treating. After the first street, she was asking to go home. Jeff took her home and put her to bed while Connor and I stayed out a little longer. He had so much fun with his neighbor friends and of course, he came home with all kinds of Halloween loot!
