Halloween 2011

Halloween this year with Boston was a blast. He loved Trick or Treating (except that he tried to walk into EVERYONE'S house), he loved seeing all the costumes (he became awkwardly obsessed with another little boy in a Buzz Lightyear costume and stood thisclose to him screaming "BUZZ! YOU CAN FLY BUZZ! BUZZ LIGHTYEAR TO THE RESCUE! YAY!") and yet he is still has a memory of a 2 year old. Meaning I gave him 2 pieces of candy that night and put the rest away and he has no idea.

I originally wanted to dress him as a Polynesian fire dancer, but decided that in order for it to work he would have to be barefoot and bare chested, and doing that in October that might fall under the Child Abuse category.

And so, he was a greaser. Everyone thought he was Fonzie, so we'll go with that.

And Maia was a duck. The fluffiest, puffiest, cutest duck you ever did see. Boston started calling her MaiaBird and it stuck. So cute.


I'm pretty sure she saw her reflection in the lens and thought, "WTF did you do to me?" Or maybe you can submit your own caption in the comments.  I laugh like a lunatic every time I look at this photo:
 She was great with the headpiece all Halloween night but didn't love it so much for photos. The outtakes from this session are one of my favorite things EVER. She is either scowling, cross-eyed or looks completely baffled in most of the photos. Some a combination of the 3, which is even better.

Once we took the head piece off, she was  much happier.

Did you get hers at Costco?! I saw a duck one there and immediately wanted to buy it despite the fact we have no children to dress

Ha, no it was from Childrens Place... but probably ten people asked if it was from Costco so they must have had a similar one!
And I fully support buying kids stuff pre kids!
