Halloween 2009

Yes, I must admit, this is indeed my son. What a fantasticly fun Halloween! The weather was way too cold, but we had a blast coming up with these crazy NERD costumes! Grant truly embraced his "inner nerd". As soon as he put the whole costume on he really got into the character and had a great time.
Trent went over the top with the whole "cool-nerd" look. Look closely, that IS the Goodwill $2.99 price tag on his left shoulder!
He said that when he entered his fourth-grade class, ready for the school parade, his classmates all busted up laughing and thought he looked awesome! I am so glad that both boys have enough self-confidence and fun-loving-spirit to pull this off.

It wasn't all stupidity. Brooke was precious as Tinkerbell. She was so lovely. Of course, for Beggar's Night she had on several layers and eventually had to put her wings on over her coat.

Yes, Grant's shirt tail is sticking out of his fly, on purpose!

And lastly - Brooke convinced Daddy to carve the Black Cat in the pumpkin. It was so awesome!
We capped off the night with dinner at Steak & Shake. It has become a tradition for several years now to take the kids out to dinner in their costumes. We got alot of strange looks and snickers but it was fun. Grant, Brooke and I shared a mint-chip shake and Daddy and Trent shared the carmel-apple shake. Yummy.
