New Duds

I felt very safe this year during the Halloween festivities. Who wouldn't with Megatron karate chopping and throwing flames at the enemy while Jeff Gordon was ready to race to my side if needed?! Plus, who would every hurt a sweet, fluffy chicken or a puppy dog?

This year everyone's costume selection was a perfect match for their personality.



Ethan chose to be a race car driver. He is your typical competitive 6-year-old especially when it comes to Blake being involved. Ethan is always the one who challenges everyone to a race home from the park. He always includes the rule that there can be no passing. Interestingly, he throws that rule out after he has already started racing and has a 20 foot head start!
Blakers chose to be the transformer "Megatron". This isn't a very far diversion from past years being power rangers. But this is definately his personality. I know you can all see him in his little costume with his skinny legs and arms throwing out some serious karate chops. It doesn't end there as he throws fire from his palms and makes some hissing/growling noises that are, thruthfully, a bit frightening.



There is a softer side to the Bryan's. I'm relishing the chance to choose what Keaton wears for Halloween while he will still let me. It was a toss up- should I go with the dog since he loves them or should I go with the chicken because it is so adorable and funny? Keaton was a good sport and didn't fight either costume even when the hoods were on. If you look closely at the dog costume you may wonder if that dog is foaming at the mouth- no, he is just enjoying the holiday candy tradition.

Our boys really add the spice to our lives that we love!

I love the chicken costume, it probably should be considered a classic! I can see Blakers throwing karate chops with his death stare...a little flashback from the park a few years back comes to mind! He was ready to fight that little girl! Ethan is growing up! I just saw a picture of him as a baby and I almost couldn't figure out who it was! Anyways, you have a great Halloween tradition. By the way, Darren looks like a pimp polygamist in that suit!
