Halloween

Max's costume parade at school:

Side story: Max is pretty easy to please, and pretty creative. He loves to make things out of whatever he can find around the house. He once found a paint stick and wanted to make it his lightsaber. So I painted it blue and put duct tape on the end for the handle. When he told me he wanted to be Darth Vader for Halloween, I upgraded his lightsaber to a 5 gallon paint stick. It's probably his favorite toy. Little does he know a much better lightsaber is coming soon for his birthday... I love this picture. Max was so grossed out by the pumpkin guts.
