Because this year, the costume actually fit him. Oh, and plus, he can now hold up his own head. And probably run a mile. He’s grown a lot in a year, huh? So we pulled out the eyeliner again for spectacles and lipliner for the scar. 
I drew crooked glasses on his face as he laughed, grabbed for the eyeliner pencil, laughed more, and kicked me. 
And away we went. To school. Where the Hurricane (and his mad dancing skills) were a hit at the Ducklings’ fab Halloween party.
He then made a party stop by my office for the my office Monster Mash…where he received an impressive number of votes for best costume! (His costume was extremely WAY better than the one I threw together this morning after a very last minute trip to CVS. I was tinsel. Kind of. Needless to say, I did not get very many votes for best costume.)
Then he went home, had a bath and was completely sound asleep by 6:30 p.m. A few of our neighbors came over for candy before then. But by a quarter to seven, our porch lights were out and I was in the tub; and now, at 9:30, we’re all completely crashing out.
HcQ and I just commented that this was quite possibly the best Halloween we’ve had in a long time. Seriously. Party all day. Tucked in before ten. Best. Ever.
Hope yours is spooky fab as well. If you comment, tell all and/or link your fun Halloween stories and photos.
And may the Great Pumpkin bring you many gifts.
Completely precious. And I love how Harry Potter is always holding a bottle of potion in his hand!Upside Up Halloween Index plus a few photos at http://www.leapdesign.com/upsideup/Happy Halloweens y'all!
No surprise your offspring's a partier, too. Thanks for the pictures, he's a doll…
Love it! It's not Harry Potter in his onesie, but the thought of Hurricane's mad dancing skills at the Ducklings' class is pretty sweet!!For my Halloween I drank beer, ate pasta and watched VERONICA MARS. It was great. No trick or treaters in the downtown apartment…sigh.
Very cute!We had a good Halloween as well. Only now I can't seem to stop saying the following:"Say trick-or-treat, Joe. OK, now say thank you." I'm sure I said this 75 times last night to my 4-yr-old who could not seem to hold it in his sugar-coated brain.
That is a perfect Halloween. He is even cuter as Harry the second time around…….My two year old was offended that anyone wanted to put candy in his Elmo bucket. He kept saying "NO!! My Elmo" and I would smile and say "what he means is "thank you for the lovely offer of candy, but none for me thanks" Grr. We did all that work and NO candy to steal from him……
I didn't think it was possible for him to look cuter in this than last year…but he did it.
also, it seems he's lost his soother in a year …?
So cute! I linked to your earlier HP post today, but update to this one instead.
So cute! Sounds like a terrific Halloween. We had a nice one too (since you asked, http://mimilou.blogspot.com/2006/11/gushing-when-it-comes-to-complaining.html)
Okay, THAT didn't work. You can find the post by clicking through from the profile…
LOVE his glasses. Those are classic!You can see our Halloween fun by clicking through my profile.
He looks wonderful! I'm such a dork – I would've bought him little kiddie-sized glasses. Eyeliner was a much more economical solution.Halloweenie links….well, I posted a joke. And Izzy posted a list of "what not to do if you're in a horror movie" tips.
Your hurricaine is SUCH a cutie-pie!! The most DARLING Harry Potter EVER!
That is one of the cutest Harry Potters ever. The glasses, oh, the glasses!
Now I'm relieved that I didn't make my husband dress up as HP, because he would have been SERVED by the Hurricane. Did I just use that correctly? I am trying to stop using old fogey language and served is something I heard somewhere. Help. I will be talking about the good old days next.Seriously, The Hurricane is adorable. And I think he should be HP next year too. It is economical, hilarious, and definitely blogworthy!
In fact, every year!
SOOOO cute! Isn't it amazing how much more fun all of the holidays are with a toddler around? Thanks for commenting on my blog…glad someone else thinks Playdoh is cool.
I too enjoy drawing on my baby, but just sweet little whiskers. (http://mommystimeout-rhonda.blogspot.com/)
AA!! I love that you drew the glasses on again! YES!! Our halloween experience is up at the blog today, too.
Oh my got!(Finally someone I can say that too without having to explain that I got it from a baby I do not know) Your baby is so cute.
It's the soother that makes the look, totally.
He's sooo cute! I don't have any interesting halloween stories…I'll just have to read everyone else's.
