One look in the full-length mirror was all it took for Derek to pronounce in a half whisper: " I look wonderful!" This costume was on from 10 am until 10 pm, and is now on again at 9 am Saturday. It may never come off.
Halloween started at Carissa's school with the parade and class party. The boys were initially excited to walk in parade, but opted out at the last second.
Carissa and her friend Pelagia waited patiently.
Then each grade took a turn parading around the yard.
Later that afternoon we drove out to Burbank to Nickelodeon Studios for a big bash. Our friend Ashley is a producer there and invited us to the party.
There was food, music, cookie decorating, bracelet making, pumpkin decorating, more food, and then trick or treating through each department. Every show (Sponge Bob, Dora, etc.) decorated their offices in a spook alley/haunted house, and gave out handfuls of candy at the end. It was very fun.
Even Batman needs a juicebox once in a while.
Here are the kids with our friend, Ashley.
Then it was back home for some good, old-fashioned trick or treating around the neighborhood.
Grayson was hammered by this point and only lasted the length of our street before he completely melted down and was carried home.
Batman and china girl lasted a while longer, but were anxious to get home and pass out candy.
All in all, a wonderful halloween.
All in all, a wonderful halloween.

Wow, it sounds like you guys had a fun-filled Halloween. I wish Evan was as excited as Derek to dress up. Oh well.
Oh Derek! These pictures are proof that a pair of black tights can make all the difference. I can hear D now..."I - look - wonderful!"
He does look wonderful. When I put my costume on I said, "I look creepy" and my niece said, "You look creepy and freaky!"
Looks like that was a day to remember, so much to do. Two of my nieces were china girls and wore almost the exact same outfit as Carissa. Such a cute idea!
