When Pete was 6, he met Batman. Not THE Batman, or even the Adam West Batman, but to his way of thinking--Batman!! It made an impact on him. In his adult life he has been Batman every year for Halloween. As a matter fact one of the first things we did together as friends was chase all over town for items to fill his utility belt. (As a side note, he didn't invite me to the party to which he was going! He dropped me off after we had dinner and he went on to the party! Pete, Pete . . . )Anyway, we have talked about what Thad would be for his first Halloween since before we even had him. The thought was Robin. Then we talked about Thad being Batman and Pete being Robin. However, as time got closer we decided Thad should have his own thing, but stay in the SuperHero category. So Thad was Superman this year.
(My mom bought him an adorable Batman outfit, complete with cape, which he loves to wear! It was short-sleeved, so we decided to make that an indoor outfirt.)
Pete and Thad went around the neighborhood with our nextdoor neighbors the Shettlers and the Colinos. They had so much fun! Thad came back with candy (I LOVE having children!!) and very, very heavy eyelids.
Pete then put on his costume in order to hand out candy to others. We had some interesting others:
Schwartzenegger and a nun? Okay.
That same weekend, we went to our local nursery, Swanson's (wonderful!) for fall activities. Here are a few snaps from that little trip. Our extra "son" is our neighbors' son, Stephen Shettler, who came with us to "help us with Thad"!!
Getting ready to go!
