Darth Vader

I just love Halloween!

Today we went out to get Nathan's Halloween costume. Hooboy, what a decision. Leaving the decision to Nathan is never quick or simple. It is best to give him a very limited choice, or you could be standing there for hours while he tries to figure out which one he wants. (His teacher found that out the hard way when she asked him to bring his favorite pencil with him to the music room - 20 minutes later he happily left with the perfect pencil in hand...)

But hey, this is Halloween! And a kid has got to pick his own costume. That's half the fun! So we resigned ourselves to be at the store forever while Nathan made up his mind. Dh had the brilliant idea of giving him the sales flyer for the costume shop, a week in advance. So by the time we walked in there, Nathan had it narrowed down to three! We ended up getting out of the store in a reasonable amount of time, we got two mega bags of candy, and Nathan got to pick his perfect costume. :) It was so much fun! We got tshirts that said "...got candy?" and Dh got a skeleton to hang on his machine at work. LOL!

All we need now is the pumpkin!
