Halloween Seventeen

Halloween in the Weinstein household pretty much starts percolating in January. Talk of costumes. Reading Halloween books (Little Boo, Jerry Seinfeld's Halloween, Little Critter's Halloween, and Where's My Mummy? are year-round favorites). Candy consumption (that actually carries over into the fall..in fact, I think you guys still have Halloween 2016 candy as of this writing). Pumpkin/zombie/skeleton obsessions grow.

You guys went to the Arboretum (sorry I missed it!)

You both expressed your inner-pumpkins and spooky specters in art:

Aidan (L) and Julia (R): 2017 Jack-o-Lanterns

So...it was time to costume-up... who were you?

This year you guys watched "The Corpse Bride" for the first time...and Julia, you decided then and there- and never wavered- that you were going to be a 'Spoooooooooky Ghost Bride."

Mission Accomplished:

And Aidan, you had all sorts of big ideas of what you were going to be... a Tarantula... Sonic the Hedgehog. But, ultimately, when I took you to the Halloween store, you knew EXACTLY what you would choose to be the second you saw the costume:

In retrospect, it makes perfect sense. You have been going through a Pokemon thing!

Who was I?

Costumes- check! 

Then it was time to GET THAT CANDY from those fools who are just GIVING it AWAY!!!!!!

Family Trick-or-Treating was on Sunday:

And then...the MAIN EVENT on Halloween EVE itself, with your buddies Zoe, Molly, and Kate!

And now... one more treat for you. I put together a little video!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!

I look forward to the discussions of Halloween '18 beginning in 3...2...1...
