Hale-O-Ween (Sorry, In Spite of My Best Efforts, I Cannot NOT Use That)

We have been remiss. Hale HAS had many adventures since we last updated this blog. (Sorry about that. Really.) There is a huge backlog of illuminating pictures and touching stories.

But for now you'll have to subsist on a diet of Halloween candy:

Here's some more, just click on this here blue green text right here.

Keen fans may note the presence of not one, but two costumes upon our .

First is a Batman-inspired jumpsuit (with cape and hood), stitched by Grandma Char from whole cloth. (umm, Wow?) Thanks Gramma Char!

The second costume is actually sort of Hale's everday, go-to outfit, which consists of a cape, shorts and this boy's longest-lived T-shirt ("I want my 'deadwhateveritwas' shirt, Mommy!" is the refrain we hear many times before breakfast each morning. Literally.)

Last night when people asked him what he was, his reply was a stoical, "SuperMowgli, Avenger." He totally trickertreated in a t-shirt.

Cousinz Zach and Zaine and Zayden were along as well--always a good time.

There are also pictures in the slideshow/Flickr set from H's preschool, and from West Seattle Junction's Halloween street festival thing, with cousin Josie (angry bird). Pay no mind to Amy in hipster glasses. She was playing at being Ira Glass.
