Halloween

The Star Wars theme song is still being sung in our house all day every day, so of course, we had to be a Star Wars family this year. I was shocked when Zander chose to be Luke Skywalker instead of one of the bad guys, and Lucas begged to be Darth Maul. I just happened to find a Darth Vader outfit in Hannah's size on clearance, and Dad decided to join forces with the dark side and be a Sith Lord while I sided with Zander as Princess Leia.

We spotted the headless horseman riding through the neighborhood this year. The boys were captivated by him and tried looking for him every time he disappeared. I had to tell them the legend of Sleep Hollow so they understood who he was. We had a blast trick or treating and Hannah lasted a lot longer than I thought she would, although she was like a cat in a costume--she wouldn't walk she'd only fall over and not move. We got lots of loot including regular sized candy bars!
