What a great Halloween! This was the first year that the boys all agreed that we should do a family theme and coordinate costumes. After Wyatt came home with a Captain America costume a month before Halloween, they all decided that an Avenger family was in order.
Since Henry had also been decked out as the Hulk when he was 2, we all agreed that Finn would take on the role. The first time in the costume, he totally freaked, but he warmed up to the idea and went around telling people "I Hulk Smash."
And he would even growl it and flex his little padded muscles.
Wyatt was a very handsome and brave Captain America. He loved his shield and would even try to throw it to see if it would come back to him.
Henry had a harder time choosing his favorite Avenger, but he eventually settled on Thor and loved it. He did wish that he had a long ponytail, but he wasn't willing to wear a blonde wig to make that happen. He still looked pretty tough without long hair. He was the only one strong enough to carry that hammer.
To follow up his last several Halloweens, Gavin chose the most difficult to find costume and had quite a few ideas about exactly how it should look. We managed to piece it together and it turned out pretty awesome. He was quite satisfied and quite handsome.
The last two Avengers fell to the parents of this crew to impersonate. The boys all decided that Caleb could dress as Tony Stark instead of having to sport an adult sized Iron Man costume. He pulled it off pretty well, glowing blue heart and all.
As the token female in this family, I was, of course, Black Widow. I was told by my children that my costume would have been more perfect if I had some guns strapped to my legs in holster, but I wasn't willing to overcommit to Halloween.
We were rocking the neighborhood. Though Tony Stark looked less impressive for trick-or-treating than he had for the weekend before.
The boys also had some great fun at the school parades. Nothing beats Halloween at an elementary school. Loads of fun.
Waiting to trick-or-treat.
Flexing their super big muscles.
This was the first Halloween that Finn really trick-or-treated and really understood what was going after the first couple of doors. He was such a funny thing wanting to stop and eat each piece of candy after he got it. He also wanted to walk everywhere and after an hour, he sat in the stroller and said he was done.
