With Halloween quickly approaching, I thought I'd share some of the boys' past Halloween costumes. Any pictures "pre-Itchy" are on another computer so ya'll are saved from the full bombardment - rest assured I will make you suffer another day through them. Cowboy has never liked having stuff on his head or face (thankfully he's MUCH better now). Every Halloween was an adventure - and betting game - one whether he would actually wear the costume he picked and tried on or we would have to alter it in some way.

2002 Cowboy had a different costume that year, he was going to be a fireman - when it came time to wear it he acted like it burned his skin. Not the kind of FIREman we had discussed - I told him you're NOT actually ON fire - you put OUT fires. Didn't work, so I ran quickly and grabbed a white sweatshirt (he would wear those hoods) and made Sharpie spots (didn't need to have scent dogs around us then - you could find us anywhere) and cut up a black tshirt to make the ears. Itchy based on dates is 2 months here? That doesn't seem right at all - he's gargantuan! Regardless - anyone for "light as a feather, stiff as a board"?


2003 - this seems right - Itchy would have been 14 months here - he's got the girlie curlies workin. Also - even though I got a smile out of Cowboy - he is LOATHING every second he has that helmet on. Notice the hands are READY to rip it off his head.


2004 - Yeah Cowboy wants to get the stuff off of his face and the hat off.



2005 LOL poor Cowboy - that mask stayed on all of 5 mins. Itchy was in HEAVEN - he loved being able to take his lightsaber around. The mask didn't stay on the whole trip of trick or treating but he did good. Plus the cape was just long enough on his costume that it floated/dragged just like it does on Vader in the movie.


2006
I have no clue where this picture is - I'll have to look through old archives someday. Cowboy was Flash Gordan and Itchy was a Storm Trooper. Itchy didn't want to wear the helmet and of course NOBODY knew what he really was without the mask.

2007 - this was the year he went trick or treating with Friendgirl and she was the Bride of Dracula (yeah, remember I said they were an old married couple - I guess the real truth of how long they've been married came out last halloween). The only thing Cowboy lost was the teeth before they went trick or treating.


2008
Itchy is going to be a ninja and Cowboy is going to be a Gladiator. What are your kiddos going as??
