Misc scientific bits about Halloween
I spent the day conducting a scientific experiment to determine scientifically which I like better: Twix or Kit Kats (yes, even with the "K"). A random sample was procured and a blind taste test ensued. I can say with 90% accuracy plus or minus 10 pounds that I like chocolate. Seriously, I must get over myself. Although K. was sternly instructed before I left for therapy to Get. Rid. Of. All. Of. The. Candy. he failed in his mission. His slip up is fodder for my laboratory investigations continuing forthwith. Unfortunately. But in the name of furthering the universal pool of knowledge.
E. declared that he wanted to a witch. Then a pumpkin. K. was instructed to make E. think that he wanted to be either a cowboy or a pirate. Cowboy it was. We went to the fabric store and patterns were found, fabric purchased. E. then declared that Secret Agent was it. And Thus, Secret Agent it was.
I love my boy. Secret Agent is the EASIEST costume ever. We got so into it that Z. was a secret agent too, and we all matched while we handed out the candy. Of course it wasn't clear to everyone that E. was a secret agent, as secret agents tend to look a lot like cat burglars. Or yuppie hipsters. See for yourself.
The light was crappy today. It kept messing with my photos. Everything was SUNNY and GLARE-Y and BLOWN OUT and BRIGHT. Stinkin sunny day. And it was warm too.
Empirical evidence suggests that children can have a psuedo-sugar-enduced melt down on candy laden holidays whether or not they consume actual particles of suger. Consider yourself warned.
Secret agents need a break too. It can't be all gathering clues and dangerous liasons and sneaking into secure buildings. Sometimes it is just lounging in the front yard watching the world go by.
Happy Sugar Buzz to you!!

Posted by: OmegaMom at November 1, 2007 12:25 AMI love the idea (and photo) of the Secret Agent throwing a sugar induced (by osmosis) hissy. Espionage is so trying isn't it? And is that little Princess sweet on your boy or what? Great pic of a happy boy.
Posted by: Tracie at November 1, 2007 5:11 AMThe hissy fit looks horribly familiar. Here it's induced by the Neverending Cold that we've now had for about 12 months. And oh...it's me throwing the fit.
Fab costumes!
i just knew you'd have a fitting Halloween entry!!! Adorable - looks like everyone had a fun time.
Posted by: Kara at November 1, 2007 11:38 AMI love these costumes! They both look incredibly hip, especially Z, who I can totally see downtown.
Our older guy had a fit after one lick of a tootsie pop. His brother ate all sorts of candy and was as easy as Sunday morning. Huh.
