Halloween - VA

First, a family shot from last weekend (the weekend of the 23rd). Note the beautiful weather. One week from that day there would be 5 inches of snow on the ground. Boo.
Okay - Halloween. This year the kids were spiderman and a tarantula. Chloe really couldn't think of anything, but once I suggested a spider, she latched on to this tarantula idea of hers and RAN with it!

Here is Chloe's costume... her two extra sets of legs, her extra eyes, her backpack mounted web, and... of course, her black tutu... because when you think of tarantulas EVERYONE thinks of tutus, right??

Gavin wanted to be spiderman. Halloween really wasn't that big of a deal because he wears this costume at least once a week. Seriously.

Close up of Chloe's face. Only 7 eyes on her and she was unhappy about the missing eye but there just wasn't room on that tiny little face. The purple sparkly glasses? Added by Chloe because they look "spidery."

Counting the loot




Really, this Halloween was the best yet. They both had a great time and really got into the projects and decorating and the whole shebang. Gavin was such a little kid this year, running from house to house. And then stopping to examine his loot. They were adorable.
