Halloween 2017































This year's costumes consisted of Alakazam, a psychic 
Pokémon, and a cardboard box.  Anders and Anna created the costume for his Pokémon costume (with a tiny bit of help from me) and Anna and Kuba created the box costume - equipped with a built in helmet to make it easy to wear.  
Things we had to buy: Duct tape, rubber dishwashing gloves, and yellow spray paint.  Everything else we collected from around the house, or picked up for free.
That's my kind of costume making.    Anna got really into it...as usual.  Which amped up everyone's excitement.    

The kids were really excited about their costumes again this year.  Though I don't know that walking up and down steps with a giant box on your head was that easy.  It reminded me of Anders giant blue whale costume from 8 years ago.  

This was the year Anders set off on his own and trick or treated with his middle school friends.  Anna and I went out with Kuba and a bunch of his third grade friends and their families.    They both came home with a boat load of candy.

         
(Anna hard at work....her architectural skills sure do come in handy) 

(They boys ready for trick or treating)
