Halloween

What an eventful Halloween! I felt like we spent more time searching for Tucker's costume than enjoying the festivities! When Tyler and I were in Cebu, we saw these old school Batman and Robin costumes and decided they would be perfect for the boys. Tucker LOVES his costume and wears it all the time. On Friday morning, I realized that his gloves were missing. I spent most of the day looking for them and therefore didn't notice, until right before our ward Halloween party, that his cape was also missing! I quickly slapped on Megan's (the dog) cape from her witch costume and we were off.


Don't you love Oliver's expression. I think he was really taking it seriously.


Emmaline's costume was a HUGE hit- both with people's reaction and the fact that it was enormous! (the pickle and "toothpick" on top had to be the best part)


Savannah was dressed as a teenager, I think! =) This is her friend Ritsuko.
When we got home from the party, I had Savannah help Tucker get ready for bed. Soooo.... I didn't notice until after dinner the next night, when we were dressing for trick-or-treat-ing (is that a word?) that Tucker's entire costume was missing! And of course Savannah had already left to got to Ritsuko's house and had no phone. I tried putting a clown costume on him, but he wouldn't hear of it! After 45 minutes, we found it. In his pajama cubby.

We only really have one Batman movie and it isn't the old kind, so there isn't a Robin. Tucker isn't sure who Robin really is. I think he actually thinks we are saying "Robber" because all night he ran around shrieking, "I'm Robba" (remember he does not enunciate) in his most serious voice. And speaking of robbers...


I love that Oliver dressed as Batman and his best friend dressed as a bank robber. That wasn't planned! (and Oliver is average height- his friend is just VERY tall) Emmaline had to be really careful as she walked up to houses. Only a few children were knocked down as she got the hang of her costume.


I'm pretty sure we're going to be sick from all this candy for weeks to come!

Our Jessica LOVES Batman and Robin too. We have some of the old TV shows that she just eats up. She was very impressed with your boys' costumes. Emmaline has my vote though.

Loved the pictures. Pickle? amazing is it held on with a head band?? Just amazing.
Batman and Robba were great and Savannah's "costume" would be right up my alley.
