Back on the blog wagon ... let's do this.
Two months ago Miles eyed a SWAT costume at Costco and decided he had to have it. I insisted that we should go home and think about it before making the purchase to be sure it was really what he wanted to be. A week later he was still dead set on law enforcement, so we made it happen. I even managed to keep it all packaged up for weeks just in case he changed he mind ... but he didn't. This kid didn't waiver ... and I'm impressed. Considering my flippant Halloween costume track record dating back to my childhood and constantly evolving Christmas list, I am completely impressed with my little Miles' determination and resolution to be a SWAT guy. And he loved it. Every minute.
So, of course, the rest of us had to coordinate. Scott is a natural Police Officer and I figured I could be a robber. But Mia ... she was a tricky one. We wanted her to be something darling ... but it had to fit with the theme. Naturally, we settled on a pig. ha! Of course, we spent a lot of time explaining that she was a pig bc of the cop nickname. Oh, but she was a cute one!
I'm pretty sure Miles thinks he's a SWAT guy because he gets to swat bad guys with his baton (which was strictly prohibited, by the way ;) ). I just love this little pumpkin.
and, a couples shot compliments of our personal 3.5 foot photographer ...
Earlier in the week Miles' friends, Ike & Ollie, showed up at our door wrapped like mummies. Of course, we had to join in the fun.
I miss Halloween already!
Good thing we have a couple fab holidays coming up.

Yay!! You're back. I laughed out loud (I wrote that out to show that I actually did) when I saw Mia as a pig. Very clever. I'm disappointed that you had to explain it to people. Come on folks.
Is that Scott's security guard uniform from 2002?
yes, yes it is. :)
Love, love the post. You are a great writer..I had forgotten...it had been so long! Keep'm comin'
ha ha. I can't believe he still has that. Well it is always good to have some costumes on hand. It is hard enough to figure out costumes for kids.
You pulled it off! Great pictures. Miss you guys and the Berkeley Ward Halloween Party!
Such a great idea for halloween~ You are a smokin' hot burgler:) Love Mia's piggy costume!
