happy halloween. this was our first halloween in our new home in chula vista, ca. the decor in the neighborhood were very creative and colorful.
i thought this was so cute, colorful and wholesome. reminded me of casper.
our friend leonore and steven joined us. steven was in rhett's montessori school. steven always beats rhett in the wii game. i had to assure rhett it was because he had plenty of practice. rhett is very competitive and does not like to lose. wii is in his daddy's christmas wishlist for him.
rhett and rich are my two loves (and sometimes headaches). rhett wanted his dad to be a pirate. he had no pirate costume ready so he improvised. he got a shirt from his wardrobe, a pair of pants from his navy uniforms with suspenders, rhett's disney pirate hat, and rhett's legoland telescope. and oh he borrowed my black long wig and tied it in a ponytail. he walked barefooted during the trick or treating. at times, he would freeze and look thru the telescope pretending to gaze afar for some island. rhett: "why is daddy not wearing a shoe?" duchesne: "because he is a pirate!" rhett: "but pirates wear one shoe and a hook at the other foot."
steven decided he was a batman for the night. rhett wanted to be a transformer this year. the character's name is bumblebee. it comes with a mask. we went looking at halloween catalogs and ended getting them at a local halloween store. this costume is very pricey that is only worn once. it is an exciting time though for all of us.
i was a wicked witch. the decision was based on value and how it looks on. we had fun this year and is grateful for steven and leonore who joined us. we cannot wait for next year as we get more bold with our characters.
