Now that I am a) finding it crazy to take pictures every day, b) finding old pictures I love and c) a fan of remembering things that have happened, I have to take the time to document what I remember of Halloween.
First of all, I LOVE thrift stores for inexpensive costumes. That's where we got Hulk's costume. And would you believe the ever harried mom missed getting The Quiet Man in his Jake Pirate costume. It was awesome. We didn't have a lot of money to work with, so he looked half pirate/half biker to the untrained eye, but HE loved it and was so proud of the getup. Dragon Master was VERY happy with a simple Iron Man getup, and his "chest light" came in very handy. Judy Moody actually took off after the trunk-or-treat to go with a friend. It all happens so young.
So after we ate some hot dogs at trunk-or-treat, Mom (who is a hard core trick or treater) was left with 3 boys so Dad could hand out candy. Now keep in mind I was 5 months pregnant. We did great for awhile, but my boys just aren't as serious about candy collection as their mama was/is, so soon the little bat was having me carry him between driveways and poor pirate boy was limping and said his foot hurt. All the up and down was a bit exhausting for me, but we held out for several streets before heading home to drop of the 2 youngest. Bat Boy had a great experience though. He was VERY polite...and couldn't believe all these people were handing out candy. It melted my heart-these sweet boys and me out in the neighborhood, filled with excitement. It was a precious night...and a workout. True, a minor episode of tears and terror was experienced by Dragon Master thanks to a stealthy gorilla, but it was worth it for us all in the end.
