Trunk or Treat

So here's Ethan's Halloween costume this year. He is a NICE pirate. We agreed that he could be a pirate if he for sure would be nice. It has been my tradition to sew all his costumes every year so it's completely homeade without a pattern and I'm really excited about it!

I was really surprised he let us put the face paint on him!

Ethan and Dad sitting in the trunk for trunk or treat.

Here are our family costumes. Mark and mine were very last minute, but way cool! Mark was a mailbox and I was a "Dear John" envelope.

Mailbox Mark.

Here are the fun crafts Ethan made at the party.

mary said...: AHAHAHAHAHA! Leah! I have been remembering your 'arctic explorer' costumes from last year and wondering how you would top them... I mean, how can you get better than a CONTINENT for your costume? But you have done it. I laughed to see you as a letter and Mark as a mailbox! This was the most awesome idea ever. You are such a clever girl. I totally want to do it! Can you just imagine Dave with a mailbox on his head...? Hahaha!!! Ethan is a great pirate, and you are so awesome to sew it yourself, but I'm afraid you and Mark win first prize in my book!; 7:13 PM
Jenny said...: what a history! Since I met you leah I have sensed your creativity...you better start copyrighting! This is my first time on your blog...I love your pictures and stories:); 8:05 AM

Ethan's Expressions

10/17/10 Mark came home from a church fireside and Ethan said, "How many fireworks did you see?"
10/1/10 Ethan came home from school and said they made a scarecrow but then said they didn't make it with any "scares" in it.
7/1 Ethan was playing with his good friend Addison outside. Eliza was giving Addison big, cheesy, flirty smiles and, even worse, was blowing kisses at him. I then asked her if she wanted to kiss Addison and she nodded her head yes. Boy crazy already! Ahh!
7/1 Mark was talking about Chris King hubs for your bike which supposedly are the best and, in his words, will outlast the bike rider. Ethan said, "Chris King hubs won't outlast Jesus since Jesus never dies." Smart boy.
12/29 "Eliza thinks Rudolph the Reindeer is HER reindeer." He often comes up with silly things that Eliza "says" like this. He has often told me that Eliza thinks she's a mommy and always is telling him what to do.
12/15 Mark said he would take Ethan on splits with the missionaries if Ethan ate all of his dinner. Ethan said, "Great! But I don't like it (dinner, that is)." He said this about 3:00 before I even started thinking about what we would have for dinner.
12/14 Ethan likes to get into Eliza's crib and play quite often when they're supposed to be sleeping. One night we went to check on them at 10:30 PM (!!) and they were still awake, playing. He excitedly exclaimed to Eliza as we walked in, "It's a miracle we're still awake!!" And then proceeded to ask us, "Is it morning time?"
12/13 Ethan asked me if he could draw all over his body. I cautioned him against it, saying that his body was a temple and that we wouldn't be drawing on the walls of the temple. I wanted him to make his own choice... he thought about it for a while and then asked, "Well then, can I draw a temple on my body?" Smart boy.
