Halloween 2013

My feelings and perspective on many things have flipped in the past year, including Halloween. Still didn't want my kids to over-indulge in candy but did want to encourage their creativity and fun. Everyone got to chose anything they wanted to be, no constraints on a unifying theme or only re-using items from the dress-up box.

David fell absolutely in love with the Punk Skeleton costume he spied at WalMart, which he called a "cary kelitin."

Charlie wanted to be a super hero, so I suggested we make him some muscles to wear under his Batman pajamas, and found an awesome mask and gloves online to complete the look.

Samuel looked on the same website and chose the wizard costume.

Isaac decided he didn't want to dress up at all. He helped me pass out candy at the door while Mark walked his brothers around the neighborhood. David came home after just our street. He was cold and thought he had plenty of treats already - about 8, ha!
