Happy Halloween -- Costumes and Haiku

Watch out for King Kong!
I know he looks very sweet
That's my monkey boy.


Over tall buildings
He leaps in a single bound
It's Superbaby!

Check out the awesome job I did
removing my hands and arms in Photoshop!

This morning my friend Melinda was kind enough to come with me to take some cute photos of my boys in their Halloween costumes. Aren't they adorable? To complete the ensemble, my husband is going as the Empire State Building, and I am going as the leading lady/damsel in distress. Fun, huh?

In my neighborhood we don't actually do the whole Trick-or-Treat thing. Instead they do what is called a "trunk-or-treat". All the members of the local church community meet in the parking lot of the church and the children go from one car trunk to another, getting treats from everybody. In some ways it's nice because you don't have to walk around with your kids for hours!

On the other hand, they do miss out on the whole door-to-door experience. I figure we'll just take them to a couple houses in my friend's neighborhood so Jonah gets the idea.

What are you doing for Halloween? Hope it's something fun!

Happy Halloween!

    You are unstoppable with the haiku(s) -- I'm not sure what the plural is here.
    I really like that last shot -- baby toes are the greatest.

    Hmm.. I just looked it up and apparently the plural of haiku is... haiku! Guess I'll go change the title now!

    Great job photoshopping your hands out. I wondered how you did that shot --- very professional.

    Fun haikus (I like it better with the s for plural) too.

    Out of curiosity, what do the people who don't belong to that church do? Can they trick or treat door to door?

    And have fun tonight with your boys! So cute!

    Awesome costumes!
    We did the 'trunk-or-treat' thing on Tuesday...
    Actual Trick-or-Treating tonight, just on our street.
    Fun!
    Happy Halloween!

    The people who aren't members of our church community are invited to the trunk or treat too. They put fliers out on all the doors letting everyone know about the event.

    We also get a few trick-or-treaters at our house.

    Those were cute pictures. What version of Photoshop do you have? I'm trying to figure out what I want. Anyhow, I loved the flying baby.
