Halloween 2008

Halloween 2008 was a lot of fun for our family.
Along with the usual coolness of free candy and fun, Lis and I had the pleasure of getting Amy her first costume.

Sorry. We couldn't resist getting her something cute.

Anyhow, onto the pics!


Our first halloween event was the Shoreline Ridge neighborhood party.
Vince got a chance to show off his new costume and I dressed up just for the stares.

Potter and the Space Man. Sounds like a morning radio show.









Later that week, the whole family went to Vince's school for the annual Halloween Costume Parade.

That was where we showed off our little Amy-bug.









Vince absolutely loved this costume. He'd call her "Butterfly" every time he saw her before giving her a big hug.

We were so proud.











Vincent took this holiday event in his usual style; he grimaced the whole way before falling apart when he couldn't sit with Grandma..
Oh, well.







It all worked out though. Once we got to his classroom, there were plenty of games and snacks to reward the kids. There was even a smoke bubble maker!








Our Amy-bug was the real star.
She made sure everyone got to see her in her ladybug costume.
She was too cute.











As for Vince, I thought he made a great and handsome Harry Potter.
Sure, the gist of his outfit was a little over his head. But his wand made cool "whoosh" sounds when he waved it around. He thought that was neat!










By the end of the party, everybody was tapped out on sugar and fun. We were ready to go home.









We had a great time this Halloween.
Next year, who knows what our costumes will be? ;-)










And just for your viewing pleasure, here's Amy tearing around the school gym...
