Happy Halloween!!

Okay, so am I a totally bad mother for not having pics of my kids in their costumes???? We kind of went back and forth on a couple of different ideas for Miguel and Antonio.

At first, Miguel wanted to be Captain Underpants. Captain Underpants is evidently the principal of a school and in his spare time doubles as Captain Underpants. (You can google him for more info). He has a red cape and his 'outfit' is his whitey-tighty's, and he is bald. So, Miguel keeps his hair fairly short anyway, so he asked Diego if he could shave his head in preparation for this costume. So we did, but not totally bald, just a really short buzz cut. Then, we were trying to decide how we would do the costume since we didn't have any flesh colored sweats or anything, and we weren't sure how the school would feel about it. ( I really didn't care what the school thought, I am not happy with their festivities anyway this year). In the end, he and Diego decided that it would probably be better to go with a different costume, and being Thursday night, Miguel decided on Albert Pujols.

Antonio, on the other hand, had not come up with any ideas. Do in visiting with my brother Scott and Helen the Saturday before halloween, the topic of politics came up. The idea was thrown out for Antonio to be Barrack Obama for halloween. We all started laughing becuase he could totally pull it off. His skin tone is the same, his face is more oval and thin. The only thing we couldn't figure out was how to make people realize that is who he was. I was trying to come up with different slogans or something that I could make into a sticker or pin, but I couldn't come up with anything concrete. So, Thursday night came, and when I got home from work he had decided to be Batman, which we already had the costume for from Miguel the previous year.

They had a great time on Friday. As mentioned before, the festivities at the school were not anywhere near the usually holiday activities, other than a parade. So Diego picked them up early and took them to his office for Trick-or-Treating. They came home with so much candy. Then that night, we went over to some friends house and all of the kids went out again, while the adults stayed in.

All in all, a great evening. I think there might be pictures coming from someone that Diego works with, she takes pictures of all the kids, so if she did this year, when I get them I will post.

Love to all
