Happy Halloween

Today is the day the boys have been waiting for...okay, one of the days they have been anxiously waiting for...the day they get to wear their costumes to school. Our intentions of getting up early to start on the "getting dressed" process was a bust. We didn't manage to get up any earlier today than normal. We did manage to get all ready in time for school...I just didn't make it to work on time...I guess that isn't very uncommon. Anyhow, here are the boys in their costumes.
Dresden, as a very convincing Harry Potter. He has been so excited about wearing this costume. He was nervous about the black hair spray that we were putting in his hair until we got him dressed in his tie and cloak and put his glasses on. When he looked in the mirror he stopped and stared and couldn't believe how much he looked like Harry Potter. This is the surprised face he had when he looked in the mirror. He was very pleased with the whole outcome.

This is him Ooing and Aahing at how the black hair really does look like Harry Potter.

Logan, well this is just the perfect costume for him. He used to flip his collars up on his polo shirts because "that's how vampires wear their collars". Logan and I decided we would both be vampires this year. He and I are going to make a drop dead gorgeous couple.

Logan certainly knows how to pose for a picture.

They look so good! I begged Zack to be Draco Malfoy this year but he wouldn't! Booo! He and Dresden would have been cool together.

Zack would have made the perfect Malfoy. Maybe next year. :)

I asked Erika her favorite costume from school. She told me Logan's costume was the best. Cute kids with great Halloween costumes.

Shannon!
I just came across you when checking Lannette's progress. I wondered, "Could that be my good friend from years past, the former Shannon Strong, now married to Jason's friend?" So I was dying with curiosity to visit your blog and see what you're up to.

Your boys are handsome, and you look great! I love your kitchen, and the mosaic. It was fun to think back on fun times when we were neighbors. I have so many memories playing at your house. I looked up to you so much, and thought you were gorgeous! You still are!

Tell your family hello!

Awesome costumes! You and Larry always seem to come up with the greatest costumes. Love you front yard too! I'm so glad you have so much fun with the boys and Halloween. They will always remember you for this.
