Happy Halloween!

Although (or more likely Because) Halloween was not a big thing for the Mayor and Hobbit Wife in their growing-up years, it's one of the big holidays around Michael Delving.  Costumes are a year-round, all-season thing around here, and Halloween is the big chance to do a really good costume.  Saturday morning, Ela was really wanting to do princess dressup, so Seimi (being the amazing little brother he is), consented to do dress up with her.  The pained smile on his face tells the whole story.

Eejee got to wear his rightful costume and went as Baby Hulk.  He quickly figured out that he just had to hold onto the bucket and walk around and people would give him candy.  He lost it big-time when the Mayor asked Boookie to grab his bucket from him at the end of things.  After all, he'd worked hard to collect all that candy!

Seimi's costume was the first completed this year.  He announced he wanted to be Atom from "Real Steel."  With some cardboard, duct tape, window screen, and a pair of boxing gloves, his ensemble was complete.

Ela and Boookie decided they wanted complementary costumes and they decided to go as the Maximoff twins from Avengers: Age of Ultron.  Ela was Wanda Maximoff, "Scarlet Witch."

Boookie was Pietro Maximoff, "Quicksilver."

Quicksilver's best friend, a vampire, came over for the day.  The Mayor lined everyone up and called, "Action," and they all went into character immediately.

 The Mayor, "Wolverine," of course, and "Baby Hulk" waiting in line for Trunk R' Treat.

Boookie got to celebrate the rest of his tenth birthday.  He got some of his celebration in August and the rest of it last night, including a new Hulkbuster LEGO set he'd been dreaming about.
