Halloween 2008
Halloween started out with a fight. Well, more of an argument. Hmmm, maybe a slightly heated discussion. Lochlain was to go to school with his costume on (Seanie was not). So, as Mommy was getting ready for work, it was my job to get him into his costume - his Asian Turtle costume. Here is a loose transcript of what followed:
Daddy: "Come get your Asian Turtle costume on, Loch!"
Lochlain: "I don't want to wear that, Daddy - I want to be Green Lantern!"
Daddy: "But we don't have a Green Lantern costume, Lochlain."
Lochlain (whiny): "But I wanna be Greeeeen Lannnntern Daddy!"
Daddy (gearing up for a fight): "2 choices, Loch - Asian Turtle or Mr. Incredible"
Lochlain (happily): "Mr. Incredible, Daddy!"
After explaining to me a gazillion times as we got dressed that he was actually Dash, Loch was ready for school. We did the usual Trunk-or-Treat thing at the daycare (well, I was solo this year as Bean had a last-minute change to an important conference call) this year.


I had to decorate the car by myself, and I wasn't happy with my choices to begin with. I had previously envisioned a mad scientist lab setup with dry ice and bubbling beakers, but had been overruled by my budget-conscientious overlord, errr, I mean my loving wife. I was left with this:
Anyway, all the kids were super excited to be there and we all had a good time, including these two boys:
Here is some video of Loch's ToT - but it is hard to film and hand out treats to hyper 3 year olds:

Alright! Happy Halloween!
I will tell you, my friends look adorable in their respective superhero outfits. I think your trunk looks great! I think dry ice and/or a fog machine would be a pain in the buttocks. Save it for when your kids think you're lame-o, and then you will impress them.
Save some tricks for when they're like, seven and nine...
Love the picture of Carty. "Out of my way, Iron-loser - where's that hunky Mr. Incredible?"
Looks like a fun day. Carter had a good time too, but our camera is broken, so there is no evidence for future generations.
