Yesterday and today have been/will be kind of a crazy days for us (yesterday I baked and decorated six dozen Halloween cupcakes and today my calendar includes a Halloween party, craft, and event at Hallie's school; a Halloween party, craft, and meal at Will's school; early release for Will; doorbell ditching cupcakes at a few friends' houses; and trick-or-treating tonight), so I'm keeping it simple on the blog with a little walk down Halloween memory lane.
2006
Will (3 weeks old): pumpkin (pajamas), spider (pajamas)
Tom: exhausted new parent
Erin: exhausted new parent
2007
Will (one year old): lion
Tom: Tigger
Erin: witch
2008
Will (two years old): lion, again
Tom: Tigger, again
Erin: pregnant witch
2009
Will (three years old): pirate
Hallie (six months old): chili pepper, pumpkin, chicken
Tom: pirate
Erin: cat, pirate lady
2010
Will (four years old): Buzz Lightyear
Hallie (one-and-a-half years old): ladybug
Tom: shark
Erin: too busy chasing a ladybug to dress up
2011
Will (five years old): Batman
Hallie (two-and-a-half years old): pink octopus
Tom: working
Erin: cat
This year Will is dressing up as the gold Power Ranger, Hallie is dressing up as Tinkerbell, Tom is dressing up as Captain Hook, and I will probably wear my pirate lady costume once again. Hallie would prefer I dress as the "tick tock crock" from Peter Pan and trick-or-treat in a trio with her and Captain Hook, but I'm not sure I really want to dress up as a crocodile. We'll see...
I like 2008. Today, I walked out of the bathroom ready for school (because what teacher doesn't love Halloween on a Wednesday) and Jeff goes, "wait, let me guess..." (while looking at me and my clothes) "pregnant witch?" Thanks captain obvious. Either way, you look terrific in all of the costumes, as does the rest of the fam. Happy Halloween!
