Wanted to go with the Peter Pan theme with Jake and the Neverland Pirates, me: Wendy, and Lucy: a mermaid. But last minute Pax changed his mind and demanded he wear his costume from last year. Batman won.
Fun memory. After hitting 3 houses around our neighborhood, Kalem kept saying, "This is so boring." What?!! We finished going around the block, then went home and sat out by our ugly palm tree and passed out candy to ToTers. While sitting there giving out candy, he grinned, "This is the best Halloween EVER!" Funny kid.
Another funny memory. I made Kalem's vest for a Jake ATNP costume out of some extra felt and fabric I had in the garage. Kalem saw another kid his age with the store-bought version of the costume. He was stunned and frowned, "Ah, my costume isn't cool like that!" Then, I said, "Your costume is special." And he thought for a moment, then smiled, "Yeah, your right Mom, every costume is different and special."
