superhero halloween!

here they come to save the day! batman and wonder woman teamed up this halloween to save the rest of the neighborhood from rotting teeth by collecting as much candy as they could from the sweet neighbors gathered in their driveways.

it got dark much earlier than i expected, so our photos are limited to the couple of quick shots taken in the living room before heading out. we were in a bit of a hurry since brad had to work that night at 8 pm.

wonder woman's arm shields lasted about 2.5 seconds...

batman couldn't wait to hit the streets. his glow in the dark necklace increased visibility and was a "cool" accessory

as you can see by her face, wonder woman took her role quite seriously

when we headed outside, madison chilled in the stroller while her batman brother took the lead showing us which houses he wanted to visit. i'm not sure what his criteria was, but we skipped about a third of the houses as we went around the block. batman was also a little shy as he approached each homeowner. after a couple of quiet encounters, i tried to help him by telling the candygivers that our batman was a little shy. after 3 more houses, mason said, "mommy, please don't tell them i'm shy!"

we agreed that i wouldn't say that if he would speak up and say "trick or treat!" and "thank you" loud enough for them to hear him. he held up his end of the bargain and so did i. 

one very full bucket later, we returned home. wonder woman got a little whiny toward the end of our adventure, but it was past her bedtime, so we let it slide! 

both of their costumes were just a tish big, so we expect this dynamic superhero duo to make several reappearances in the future. after all, mason still stuffs himself in last year's spiderman costume every time we skype with granny and papa ;)
