Can you believe that another Halloween has come and gone? Our family (or at least Josh and I) has a tradition of dressing up together every year. It is my job to get the costumes all together and everyone wears them for about 2 hours at the ward Trunk or Treat. It is a big investment of time and money to outfit a family of 7 for only 2 hours! But, I think the end result is worth it. Of course the problem is that everyone wants to know what you will be next year?
Recently Logan has taken an interest in Scooby Doo. One day he said maybe Daddy could be Shaggy and he could be Scooby for Halloween. Then he thought some more and said Kaylene could be Daphne because she has red hair and Nathan can be Freddie. Well, that left me with Velma. We couldn't get Nathan or Kyle or Dylan to be Freddie. So, we went Fredless.
Dylan was Ash Ketchum from Pokemon. Not the traditional Ash, but you know, the one from Diamond and Pearl. I had to make the costume because they are not easily found. In the end he was happy and I only had to make a second one because Logan, after being Scooby for one night, wanted to be just like his brother for the actual Halloween night.
Kyle is way in to Wolverine. He even made the fingerblades. He wasn't very happy I wouldn't let him grow his hair out but, if you look close you might be able to see the sideburns he drew on himself.
No, Nathan isn't Hannah Montana! We found the blow up rock guitar and he decided to go as a rock star. We said he could be Axle Rose from Guns 'n Roses with the long hair and bandanna. He had no clue who this was. But, for future reference don't try to look it up on the internet. There was nothing we could show him safely. :)
Well, another year down and I have exactly 11 months before I have to come up with something new because one can never use the same costume twice!
