We had a beautiful night for trick or treating this year. Thankfully the costumes were not bulky enough to bring on a full sweat (I am reminded of Ben in a Chewbacca outfit during on a 70 degree night!) This year the costumes were not allowed to have anything to do with Star Wars. They argued and pleaded, but I stuck to my guns (or light sabers) that we needed to BRANCH OUT and do something different.
Introducing the MAD SCIENTIST.....aka Benjamin, complete with Mad Eye Moody eye from Harry Potter thrown on at the last minute just for good measure. I do think it adds dimension!
Ethan wanted to be an "English gentleman". He is able to do a pretty good accent at 12, "Would you care for a spot of tea?"
William wanted to be bacon or a volcano. I opted for the latter. His wig had battery operated orange lights and he carried a small tape recorder with erupting sounds so that he could erupt at any given moment. It turned out to be one those costumes he is either going to embrace in 10 years or demand to know what we were thinking when we MADE him wear it.
We passed out candy and went to the local parade because Ethan was marching with the Middle School Band. The English gentleman also plays the trumpet!
What is this? A post from Sally? Wow!! In 20 years, just tell Will that the volcano costume was the hottest costume of 2015. He just might buy it!
ReplyDeleteThe boys looked awesome in their costumes! Halloween is such fun!
