Secret Identities on Parade!

Vampire & Darth Jonah!!

What Merrik actually was for Halloween was Mr. Indecisive. He changed his mind more than the 2 times evidenced here. But at least he had opportunities for wardrobe changes. Above, as a vampire, he went to the library trick-or-treat, as well as to our ward's (church) Trunk-or-treat. And as always, Jonah is Mr. Consistent & was always ready to run out the door as Darth Vader! He would pile his suit, gloves, cape, belt & mask in his candy bucket & carry it around - always ready to go at a moment's notice!

And for the big night going around the neighborhood, M finally chose Wolverine. But not until after his hair was done & slicked back for the vampire outift & Jared had painted his face white, did he then decide that he was NOT going out this way. So after a quick switch-a-roo & a face wash, he was changed & ready to go.

Grandpa Bill came over this year to walk around with Jared & the boys in our 'new' neighborhood. As a vampire, M would NOT let Bill even look at him! Poor Grandpa! M was hiding from him for about 10 minute before he decided that he in fact wanted to go as Wolverine. Only then did he "allow" Grandpa to see him. UGH!

And speaking of our 'new' neighborhood, we held high hopes for the outcome of this special kid's night. Imagine our disappointment when Jared & the boys only found 4 houses w/ their lights on, handing out candy. And I only had ONE measly trick-or-treater come up to the house. WHAT?!?!? Oh well. Families must venture to more populated areas for the candy. Now we know! :)
