Halloween Eve Eve.
When Halloween falls on Sunday, the state of Utah finds it necessary to fill both Hallows Eve and Hallows Eve Eve chuck full of stuff, oh and every other day of that week too. Remember when you were little, and Halloween stuff was done on Halloween. And all it included was dressing up for school and then a night full of trick or treating and eating so much sugar that you were awake for an entire week straight.
Now it's Halloween week. Everyday is Halloween for an entire week. Perhaps I was more annoyed by it this year because we had only been home from our trip less than 24 hours when all the weekend madness started. And by the way, this is coming from me, the woman who loves Halloween, who spray painted dead branches and arranged them in our yard to spook it all up and have a cute Halloween house!
Robin was very content to color until he saw the scooter!But not wanting to disappoint, I had planned ahead and we had all our Superhero costumes ready for this year. Until Max lost his Batman mask. Then I had to improvise and cut and spray paint a Catwoman mask. He didn't seem to mind. Then it was off to Dad's work for
Trick or Treating.
Somehow Luke came home with about double the candy that Max did. And somehow I am not surprised by this at all. He was really good at grabbing all he could as fast as he could. Then there were all those ladies who were giving the cute chubby little Robin much more than they ought to.
Fighting crime...no committing crime is more like it!I suppose if you have two little boys, chances are you are going to have to do the Superhero thing at some point in time. About a month before Halloween we asked Max what he wanted to be and it was Batman. It never changed. Luke was happy to be his faithful sidekick. I went as Catwoman and Ryan, who will only oblige my insistence that he dress up for his kids by keeping it to a very bare minimum, agreed to throw on a Superman undershirt and be Clark Kent in transition. 
Do you feel like your in good hands with this crime fighting family?
