N dressed up as The Hulk this year and, while his costume did come with a mask, I talked him into some pretty awesome make-up ... or at least passable make-up.
I saw this costume as the perfect excuse to yell (there was lots of "HULK SMASH!"). I'll be honest that he wasn't the best at going through the proper boiler plate: door bell ring, open door, "trick or treat," candy, and follow up "thank you." In fact, he told a lady that she was wearing the most terrifying costume that he's ever seen .... she was not wearing a costume. AGH! At least we were on a street on the opposite side of the neighborhood.
In any case, it was a fun-filled night and we had a blast! And, these eyes are simply gorgeous. This little boy has his daddy's eyes.
Our yearly tradition is to close out trick-or-treat by stopping by my parents' house. N promptly emptied about half of their candy into his bag and proceeded to run around in a sugar-induced frenzy. On the way home he happily proclaimed, "This is the best night ever! I am never going to bed!" After five minutes of sitting still on the couch once we got home, he passed out - costume, make-up, and all.
