Booooooo!

Woooooo!

It’s Halloween 2013, and you were ready for the big leagues.

When Grammy and I got to your house to see your costumes and bring Halloween surprises, you were still getting your makeup on.  Once finished, I asked about it and you said:

I’m done with the baby costumes. I decided I’m not doing that any more.  I want to be something scary!

Eight years old is a perfect age to step it up, I agree.  When I was your age, I was a big fan of monster movies and monster models, including Phantom of the Opera, The Mummy, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and my favorites Wolfman, Dracula and Frankenstein.  Creepy, spooky was in; cute was out.

I like this picture of you on your front steps.  You were in your own scary zone, doing your thing, within your own imagination, getting ready to Trick or Treat.  I hadn’t asked you to pose.   Madigan is taking it all in, look at her expression!
