Jack-O-Lantern

So, it has occured to us that there are enough "Jack" costume possibilities to supply us with excellent costumes until Jack is well into high school. We'll list a few to give you the idea:
Jack-in-the-Box
Jack and the Beanstalk
One Eyed Jack (from a deck of cards)
Jack Sparrow
Jack-of-all-trades
LumberJack
Jack Rabbit
Oh, and I almost forgot...Jack Bauer, of course!

We're taking suggestions too, if you think of any, please do share.
This year, we went with Jack-O-Lantern.






Not every day you see a walking pumpkin...


This was our Trick-or-Treating group:

Five little Indians from the Fuchs, Jaguar/Barbie girl McKenna, The Thomas boys as Buzz Lightyear and Darth Vader, and the Morningstar boys as, well, we're not exactly sure what they were (but they were good ones!). Also, one skeleton, not sure where he came from, actually.

Darth Pumpkin



The older kids proceeded around the neighborhood at a run (their speed would make any Powell boy proud). Jack, however, was toted along regally in a little red wagon and toddled his little way up the sidewalks of four houses.




He collected one package of Cracker Jacks (another great costume idea!)
one kit kat (his mom ate it)
one crunch bar, and one hundred grand.

He thought it was the most wonderful thing to have a crinkly shiny piece of candy in each hand and happily waved them about with all his might as we proceeded down the street.
