To get into the spirit of Halloween, Luke donned his Jack shirt for most of the week...
Twice during various outings people asked if his name was Jack. I would reply, "witty, but no."
Lauren REALLY wanted to see Luke in a pumpkin...
Either we need a smaller kid or a larger pumpkin for this to be a success
(Luke is showing you the lights, just in case there was any confusion).
Some finishing touches on Luke's costume (that my mom and I survived making together with a pattern, some RIDICULOUSLY shedding fabric, a sewing machine, and some love)
"I HATE THIS COSTUME!!!!!!!"
This is my fake smile suffering through my costume...
"I'm humoring you, mom"
Too distracted by the 115 other costumes of Oak Hill kids to care what he's wearing...
Meet Harold...
Sylvester,
and Harriet.
Thankfully we had the Oak Hill parade which gave Luke the opportunity to be in his costume for over an hour Friday. Saturday evening, we ran through the rain so Luke could "trick or treat" at three neighbor's houses...which lasted a total of 5 minutes.
He stayed in his costume for a while after trick or treating just because he could!
I left the goblin at him with Tutu and joined Ellie, Gina, Lauren, Ian, Nima, and Skylar for an evening of haunting ghost stories and soul dancing with the Essentials (who debuted their Thriller Michael Jackson tribute at midnight!)
