Halloween 2011

 Ethan is obsessed with anything military.  He wakes up early in the morning to watch TV and you won't catch him watching PBS or the Disney Channel.  Oh no, he's got several shows recorded from the Military Channel:  Top Ten Tanks, The Best Guns Ever, Jets R Us (I'm making up titles here.  I really have no idea what the shows are called.)

So when we had the opportunity to borrow an army costume from my friend Molly, Ethan was ecstatic.  His dad did a really cool job on the camo makeup; Ethan kept looking at himself in the mirror.

When he got home from trick-or-treating, he had leaves stuck to his back.  Landon said he would lay on people's lawns in the dark to see if he really was camouflaged.  Stealth Trick-or-Treating.

Henry went to preschool dressed as the Hulk.  With Glasses.  It took some sweet-talking from Landon to get Henry to let us put face paint on him.  The deal being that he could dress as Spider Man for trick-or-treating that night.

I forgot to take a picture of him on Halloween;  this is some stock footage from a few months ago when we ran errands with him dressed up.

Henry got back from trick-or-treating with a ton of leaves in his candy bucket.  I asked Landon what happened and he said that without Henry's glasses and behind those tiny eyeholes in the dark it was pretty hard to see.  Henry kept falling down and dumping his loot.  Finally he ripped the mask off and ran to catch up with the gang of kids.

I love this holiday and wished I had felt a little better so I could have enjoyed it more.  I love that we had warm weather.  Remember how ticked you would get when your mom would make you wear a parka over your Mary Poppins costume?  

We have over 100 bags of chips left over; we way overbought.  Come by for some after-trick-or-treat bags of Doritos.
