Super Heroes

We had a super hero Halloween. Grandpa and Jeanne came through big time and went with Faustina and Jude to let them pick out some costumes. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love Halloween. So, help with getting costumes is pretty much the greatest gift anyone could give to me.

Faustina wanted to be a Barbie, but when Grandpa called from the store, Mom and Dad nixed that. I think she was excited to be Superwoman, though, since we've been reading the (long version!) old school Superman book. I must say, this book is pretty spectacular. Mike's Dad used to own a hobby baseball cards and comic store. This Superman book comes from that store and it is in pristine condition. The story is just classic. Apparently, the story of Superman is based on the story of Samson from the Old Testament. Anyway, we had Super woman, Batman, a monster, and a pumpkin.

This was probably my favorite Halloween to date. We found a fantastic neighborhood to go trick-or-treating in and the kids loved it. I'm sure we'll do it again next year.
