The movie of the year in the Tomasso household was Transformers. I took countless videos of the boys pretending to sing and rock out to "In the End" by Linkin Park, which was the theme song. They have seen the movie a dozen times and could watch it every day if we let them.We were shopping at Wal-Mart one day and this costume popped out in front of Rylan. He just had to be Bumblebee. He begged me to get him this outfit. I thought to myself, Humm this is easy, it's cheap, I don't have to try and figure out what he is going to wear and fight over it either. Perfect, let's get it!
Tanner grew up knowing Star Wars, just like his Dad. This is Chad's dream...playing Star Wars Battlefront on the PS3 with his son. (well now its John Madden football 2008, that's another blog) Ever since the Clone Trooper movie came out, Tanner was dead set on being this for Halloween. Chad, not knowing that I was going to buy this for Tanner, went out with him while I was out of town and got the Venom Sidemen costume. When I got back home I bought the outfit he really wanted. Of course he saw it and threw the Spiderman outfit on the floor in his closet...wait...i think its still on the floor, 3 weeks later.
We went trick or treating with the neighbors. We stopped half way for some dinner and off we went again. Later that night we ended up at another friends house who was having a big street gathering with lots of food and desserts. The boys had a great time and Rylan was really into running up to the houses and using his manners, coming back and showing me what kind of candy he got.This is just another day the kids can get into their favorite character outfits(boys don't play dress up), run around with their best buddies, and go play with friends. Its a great way for us to get out and meet a bunch of people in our neighborhood. The adults have just as much fun!
