Halloween 2012

Halloween was awesome this year. Woody (Jackson) and Buzz (Will) made an appearance, brought to you by the help of the fabulous Grandma Chris. Becky and Donny were Woody and Buzz about 15 years ago. They were the cutest Woody and Buzz we knew, and there's still a photo on the Bouressa fridge to prove it. Jackson loves Toy Story so when he asked to be Woody, we knew who to talk to. The Buzz costume was a bit big so I tried my best to size it down without doing too much damage (it was an okay job, you might notice the legs didn't look the best but it was only for an hour or so). Woody's costume was pretty easy. Grandma made some awesome cover boots because I had little luck finding used cowboy boots. And I put together a hat by painting it brown (it was a red used hat that Grandma found for a buck) and adding rope to the brim. Enough of about that. The boys had a blast. We met up again with some of Jackson's friends for trick or treating (check out last year). Will was mobile and he loved it, so much it was hard for us to finish up tying his Buzz wings on. We can't wait until next year when we don't have to hover over him near stairs.

Jackson had a blast with his friends, especially Oliver. They lead the way to each new house, and never asking to eat their candy. In fact, at most of the houses they would proudly hold up the candy they got and say "look mom, look what I got." Jackson and Oliver even said "no thanks" to an older woman handing out baked goods. I'm sure the cookies were more than fine but Monika (Oliver's mom) and I were pretty impressed.

 First year of not painting our pumpkins. Jackson made the face and Mama and Daddy did the carving.

 Finished products.

  Woody and Buzz (1997ish Becky and Donny and 2012 Jackson and Will).

 C'mon Buzz, next house needs us!

 

 Buzz is on the move.

 Woody and Oliver the astronaut.

 This house in Hyde Park is always a hit with the decor.

 

 Group shot.

 Group shot again ... Buzz is off saving the day!

Jackson will randomly - totally out the blue - say things like "There is a snake in my boot" or "Reach for the sky" or "You're my favorite deputy" or "Someone's poisoned the water hole." Next year he wants to be a firemen. He plays it every day at school with their dress up clothes. We'll see what happens over the next year!
