Halloween at a glance…
Nathaniel’s first Halloween! What fun. He opted to dress up as ‘BatBi’ – aka Bat Baby. Yes recycling Thomas’ first costume, but there was one big difference. Nathaniel is walking. Thomas was not. A whole different BatBi emerged this year. For example, there was a Fridge caper midday. ‘Grapes? No I don’t have any grapes in my mouth…’ As always click on the thumbnail to see a full size version of the pics.
Thomas on the other hand put together a great Fireman Thomas costume. With all the fixings including an axe, walkie talkie, fire extinguisher, hat, flashlight, and even his own fire engine… I’ll have to come up with more cost effective costumes in the future!!
As we were walking out the door to go trick or treating, Thomas suddenly says ‘Mom where’s your costume?’ ‘Why aren’t you wearing it?”. Thus I was forced to run upstairs and improvise something quickly yielding a somewhat ‘frazzled’ looking witch. I thought the baggy long underwear was especially effective! Imbaw stayed home and gave out candy – we had a total of 27 kids. Too much snow and H1N1. We hit a total of 7 houses and that was it – home and straight to bed…Imbaw and I stayed up and watched ‘Twilight’ the movie. It was cute – and not too scary for me!
What great costumes and what cuties…Mom included! Tell Thomas he can put out fires at my house any time.
As for Bat baby..he’s a hero! Hope lots of fun was had by all. Where’s the “happy” jack-o-lantern?
Small turn out..27 trick or treaters….better than us..none.
Nice pics!
I love your Halloween costumes. You can have another trick or treat here when you come because I have lots of candies left. There were less than 30 kids who came to trick or treat even though it was warm last night. It was very windy and it started to rain or drizzle around 8 PM. The news this morning said that a kid died after an tree fell on him while trick or treating. Very said.
Dear Mish and Imbaw……..your recent posting, “Halloween at a glance” made my Day! The only thing more adorable than the costumes are the beautiful children in them! It’s hard to believe that two Doctors or Lawyers started life out as “Batman and a Fireman”. Congratulations once again Mish and Imbaw……like Thomas and Nathaniel……..your just “over the top”. Miss you and Love you all.
I am very pleased to see that you did not break with the long tradition of being the witch…is that the same hat you’ve had for 30 years? : )
Your kids are awesome..
Michelle A…That is too funny… Who but a very old friend would recognize a witch hat that is at least 30 years old! Tradition dies hard.
