Here we are hanging out in the backyard at night.

He likes to bite sleeves and pant legs.

Close up

The boys with one if their buckets of candy. The face paint was not an original part of Mitchell's costume.

Zach in a sugar stupor after all the trick-or-treating.

Zach enjoying his class party.

A close up of the peely skin look. I did this all over Mark's face, but I forgot to get a picture of him.

Mitchell wanted some more makeup after the trick-or-treating was done. I think he was going for a Darth Maul look.

Zach pretending to be dead outside the haunted shed.

The boys friend Chris who is now in Jr. High (and too old to trick-or-treat) and wanted to help Mark in the haunted shed this year. I did his peeling skin. It is hard to see from all the smoke.

Scary Zach. Are you surprised I can tell Zach and Parker apart?

Parker doing his pose. This is about the only time he had this hood on. He made me make him the hood, and at the last minute he wanted me to put a wound on his cheek and didn't want to wear the mask much.

All the boys and their friend Shawn ready to go trick-or-treating.

Parker enjoying his school Halloween Party. He would only wear his costume during the parade. He is far too cool to wear it all the time.

Parker is feeling the Frankenstein's brain.

This is my 6th grade teacher Mrs. Lloyd. She is also Zach's 6th grade teacher.

Mitchell and his friend Elizabeth waiting for the school parade to begin.

Here we are waiting in a hotel lobby at 7:00 am for the hot air balloon guy to come and get us. He never came.

Mitchell has been obsessed with Star Wars recently.

Trying out the costume right after mom made it. How regal.
