Halloween

Jake wanted to be Darth Vader this Halloween--mostly because of the chance to wield a light saber, I suspect. It was a relatively warm night, especially for Wisconsin, so he could get away with a sweatshirt under his costume. We had a great time going from house to house; many of the houses in our neighborhood really go all out decorating for Halloween. There were packs of kids roaming around, all hyped up on sugar and excitement, so it was a good night.


Darth, all set to extort candy from unsuspecting rebels...er, neighbors.


It was my turn to take Jake out; Alex stayed at home with Charlie to dispense candy. I ended up with the important job of holding the mask, flashlight and light saber.


Jake got TONS of candy. He was so sweet and polite, many of the neighbors commented on how he said "please" and "thank you" which I guess from the comments, not a lot of the kids did. Jake may sometimes act like a wild little heathen but at least he's a polite little heathen!



Darth sharing the love with his little brother. Charlie wore a onesie which said "This is my costume." After all, his bedtime was still about 5:30 then, before dark.
