Happy Halloween!

This year, Mikayla chose to go as the naughty, I mean haughty, oh yeah, Dancing Princess (from Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princess which she has not seen and if it's anything like Barbie and the Magic Pegasus, she won't be seeing it) :


I mean really, is that not a "I'm better than you because I'm a princess and you're not" pose or what?


If she'd gotten lost, we could have just followed the trail of glitter that was constantly shedding from the dress.

Aaric dressed as a ninja:


And I was frightened. (really, I just realized this was the first time he didn't go as something "cute." It's no fair that these kids start getting their own opinions!)


I'm reminded of a short story. Michael is always saying in his very fake Chinese accent that he's a Kung Fu Master. When I was discussing karate lessons with Aaric, he said he really didn't need many lessons because he already knows a lot. I pointed out that he didn't truly know karate, he just pretends to do it. He protested and reminded me that he DOES do real karate because Daddy is a kung fu master!! (nevermind that karate and kung fu aren't the same - he's 6) He seriously believed that Michael is a kung fu master. I had to stifle the laughter.

Xander dressed as a baby:

That outfit says "6M" on the tag, by the way. I estimate that he's around 13-14 pounds right now. All the 0-3 month stuff is too short, though I've still stuffed him into some of the pj's a few times.
