Kids make so many things better. Halloween is definitely one of those things for me.
Anakin Skywalker (The Clone War years)
Our kids have been waiting for this day all year. Harrison couldn't decide which of the many Star Wars characters he wanted to be. He finally decided on non-evil Anakin Skywalker.
That mask kind of freaks me out. He had a costume parade at his school which was fun. (That's a lie. It started a half hour late and his class was the last to come through the gym. While the other classes would walk through slowly and pause for pictures, his class came running through so fast I was only able to take two blurry pictures. Stupid costume parade.)
One of the Halloween traditions in the area is that when you go to someone's house trick-or-treating sometimes they'll ask you to tell them a joke. Here's Harrison's:
H: Knock! Knock!
P: Who's there?
H: Justin.
P: Justin who?
H: Justin time for candy!
Chloe has worn her fairy costume approximately 4,789,432,637,219 times since I made it. As her wardrobe supervisor, I find that very satisfying.
Chloe had two trick-or-treating jokes. Here's the first:
C: Knock! Knock!
P: Who's there?
C: Boo!
P: Boo who?
C: Don't cry little baby.
This next one she made up herself:
C: Why did the cat cross the road?
P: Why?
C: Because it had to go potty.
Harrison froze at one house and couldn't think of his own joke, so he told Chloe's cat joke. He got a confused look. Rough crowd.
Miles is a chest x-ray. At least, he would have been if someone who happens to be a radiologist had agreed to wear a white coat and take a picture with the little baby.
This is how much fun Halloween is if you can't eat candy.

Of course Harrison would have a good knock-knock joke! Chloe's are pretty funny too.:) I'm impressed that the fairy costume is still holding up after all those wearings. She has a great wardrobe lady! Poor little lamb who can't eat candy - bet he would have liked a sucker.
Did your neighbors let you know about the joke tradition before the actual night of Halloween? That unexpected addition to the trick-or-treat routine could really throw a kid. Good thing your kids are so naturally funny! Love Chloe's costume!

Okay, I am still laughing over Chloe's cat joke. :) Emmett hasn't figured out knock-knock jokes, so I guess he couldn't go trick-or treating in your neighborhood. Cute costumes!
Sweet fairy costume. Did you make the wings too? Very cute!
Yes, Tammy, luckily someone gave us a heads up on the joke thing. Weird but fun tradition.
Awesome costumes!!! So Darling.
How interesting about the jokes too!
Ok, I have to comment again because I love the light in these pictures especially the glowing fairy picture - so pretty!
Cute tradition!
Chloe's cat joke reminds me of Mark's favorite joke when he was a kid, which he naturally made up as well.
Q: What did one ear say to the other ear?
A: Ear, ear
