Wow!! Halloween costumes have really come a long way. I remember when I was young the costumes came in square boxes with a clear plastic window so you could see what the mask looked like. They had the face part of the mask that secured to your head by a rubber band 9and they still have those today, but the rest of the costume was basically a full body "suit" that had a picture of whatever you were supposed to on the chest. Can you say "cheesy??"
Well, not only are the costumes much better now, the Ditmores are prepared. Unlike years past, my entire family has their Halloween costumes!!!!
I think it helped that the wife and I were invited to a Halloween Party this coming Saturday (Thanks Brian and Rose!!!!). We usually plan to get the boys' costumes early and end up having to order on-line and pay for expedited shipping. The boys picked out their costumes early and we got them. We did, however, have to order one piece for Alex's costume but it was so worth it. For those who follow the blog, here are a couple of quick snaps of the boys tonight in our drive-way.
Halloween is always a fun holiday for me and especially so since we've had our boys. It is so much fun watching their faces light up with excitement at the mere mention of what they plan to be. We have had some great costumes over the years and this year is no exception.
The lone exception this year is that i won't be able to "help" the kids enjoy their candy. I will stay away from the extra candy the boys bring home this year and hopefully limit their intake a little as well.
The boys enjoy giving out candy and seeing all the trick or treaters who come to our house each year so we'll trick or a treat a little and then head home to answer the door for all those ghosties and super heroes who will come to see us.
We will doing more Halloween photos in the coming days and I will post the final product of that shoot.
