Halloween 2009...
Nate as "Commander Cody" and Aidan as "Master Yoda"
These are two of Nate's buddies from church...who obviously love the same thing as him.
It's ALL about Star Wars at ALL of our houses right now!
(And Nate's dad couldn't be happier...)

Master Yoda vs. Lord Vader
Connection...Vader is defeated!
"Dude! That really hurt!"We had a really great Halloween, despite the fact that Adam was working until late. The kids had already fallen in exhausted heaps in their beds when Dad came home... but he took the opportunity to look through their candy bags for "Dad Tax." In my house growing up, it was 10%. Luckily for the Dad of this house, our kids only like about 10% of the candy they bring home. You can do the math on that one.
One thing we found (and really loved) this year was a local mall's Halloween Carnival. There were jump houses and carnival games, and they had a petting zoo and lots of contests and prizes. It was really fun. The stores in the mall were handing out candy, too, so the kids could walk door-to-door and get their bags full without having to guess as to which neighborhoods would be the best bet. If we're here next year, we may not even venture into the neighborhoods -- maybe we'll just go to the mall! :)
Hope your Halloween was full of treats and not tricks!

Woohoo, I won the virtual hug! :D And the only reason I guessed that is because a friend of ours dressed up their baby as that last year and I always think of it whenever people talk about Yoda now. :D
Looks like you guys had a great time! The picture of them running is just too adorable.
Great costumes! Looks like you had a fun Halloween. We also went to the mall for some Trick or Treating but they didn't have a fun carnival.
The 10% Dad Tax used to be sufficient, but now that we're down to just two kids at home, the yield isn't nearly what it used to be. I tried to increase it to 50%-60%, but then the kids complain to Mom and I have to give it back. So now I just buy the post-Halloween candy at Wal-Mart. Ah, how I miss the good old days!
May the force be with you Emily!! Cute kiddos. Aidyn looks so big all of a sudden to me in the pictures. I hate when that happens to my kids.
great costumes!! little jealous with how warm it looks there
