An Aspiring SuperMom's SuperKids

Halloween blew by me like a corrugated cardboard tornado this year. We'd been in our new home less than a week and I spent way too much time digging madly through boxes for a stray WonderWoman headband. Guess what? Found it last night.

At any rate, the kiddos still looked cute-o in their Superhero costumes (which I subliminally tricked them into begging for this year) so here's a few fun pics:


We kicked off the day by haunting Gardner Village with some neighborhood friends. Everyone else in the entire world was there too. Will visit GV a little earlier in the month next year. Before we headed out that evening Nana (and a friend) came over for dinner and I'm kicking myself for not take pics. Sorry Mom!

Jude, having recently started French lessons with his Grammy, decided to tell all the candy-givers "Merci!". We got a few chuckles and impressed looks, but mostly stunned silence. His "Merci!" sounds alot like "Messy!"
Gabby truly believed she was WonderWoman in this gettup (whereas Jude kept telling people "I am dressed as Superman for Halloween, but I am not actually Superman"). The red boots really put the cuteness factor over the top so Carrie, if you're reading this, Thanks a Bunch!



Merrick rode around in the stroller and yelled baby jibberish whenever Jude and Gabs would say "Trick or Treat!" at a doorfront. He "borrowed" this sucker from Jude's bag, because we did not collect candy for him. The kid's got 6 teeth - it just seemed wrong to hit people up for sweets that would so obviously go right into Mom and Dad's private stash!



The night was ended with a very scary visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house where we tallied our loot!

They are so stinkin' cute! Love the super heroes. I wish I could get my kids to do something nostalgic like that. But they don't want to like anything that I do...
