I don't care what you've planned, I have my own ideas

We had two options: 1) a Darth Vadar costume that was pretty comfy (a nice hand-me-down from another family), or 2) shorts and the Batman shirt and cape.

Aidan chose the shirt, no cape, and just the Vadar mask.  Darth Batman was born.

Kiira came over to trick-or-treat and we ran into several families from school.  The kids had a great time.  Unfortunately some families really got into thematic decorations and the younger ones didn't really appreciate it.  After a few iffy visits (Aidan will ignore a lot for candy), the last house ended up being the last straw.  They had an animatronic witch that moved, lit up, and cackled.  It went off right as Aidan was walking by.  He spun around and took off, I couldn't even catch up with him.  Luckily Omar had moved the car to the new street and had just gotten out.  Aidan launched himself at him.  Omar calmed him down and we sat in the car while the others finished the up the street.

Holy Pumpkins, Batman! It's Halloween!

Aidan and Emma were Batman and Robin this Halloween - they were  so cute.  I was worried that Aidan would hate dressing up (hence his super easy Charlie and Lola costume last year) but he really enjoyed it.  He was pretty tired after the Halloween parade but he perked up once he realized that trick-or-treating meant candy.  Aidan was saying a slightly mangled version of "trick-or-treat" and by the end of the night Kiira was just yelling "Candy!" when doors were opened.
