Jason decided on a costume first. He saw Batman at Costco and decided instantly and early that he would be the dark night this year. He plays the part well... but when you see that smile underneath that mask, there is nothing dark about him!
Since we had a duet at the Halloween piano recital, I decided to go ahead and be Batman's sidekick.
Ben and Kara had more difficulty figuring out costumes this year, especially when I told Ben that he should consider something outside of the Star Wars family. He and Sho talked about making a knight costume, but what Ben wanted was way too difficult and the costume Sho had as a kid would not allow Ben to sit down... but luckily we found a knight costume just in time for the recital and Halloween.
Though I still call her my princess, Kara's days of dressing up like a princess are long gone. I have to say, I like her hair with these streaks of red. I know I will regret saying this when she gets older and wants to dye her beautiful hair some crazy color.
Sho thought he had things figured out... get the afro wig, find the crazy jacket that was in storage and he'd say he was someone from the 70s. But the jacket didn't fit quite right, so he thought maybe Jules from Pulp Fiction. But he doesn't have the facial hair. So then he thought Men in Black, to which Ben said, "So they were just businessmen?"
Happy Halloween!
