calvin and hobbes

 Meet Calvin and his best friend Hobbes.


One of Porter and Bridger's favorite things for me to read them at night before they go to bed is Calvin and Hobbes.  I've always loved the comics and have all the books.  So when Halloween was approaching, it seemed like a perfect combo for Halloween costumes.

Halloween was fantastic this year. I've never been a fan of Halloween. I just don't like all the horror/gore/guts/demons/zombies/darkness that's associated with it (I get enough of that at work).

But this year was quite different. I loved watching my boys go trick-or-treating. And the excitement on their faces when they saw other kids dressed up as things that they know, was so funny.

Here we are trick-or-treating with Santa. As you can see, Porter couldn't take his eyes off him. When my nephew Wes walked in to my mom's house as Santa, Porter ran for me and said, "Look Mom, it's Santa....RIGHT THERE!" All night long he kept his eyes on Wes and kept repeating. "It's Santa, right there Mom, he's right there!"


Bridger spent most of the night (after trick-or-treating) watching out the front window for Buzz Lightyear again. He is obsessed with anything and everything that has to do with Buzz Lightyear and seeing a little boy dressed up like him was the highlight of the evening.

They both did really well trick-or-treating, and Bridger loved it even more after he figured out he could get suckers from almost every house down the street. And after about 6 or 7 houses, he decided he was done just looking at his candy, so he plopped down in the middle of the road to start in on his loot.

Porter enjoyed the trick-or-treating as well, but he also decided that it was a fire hazard to have the candles on in the pumpkins on the porches. So, when he walked up to knock on a door, he would blow out all the pumpkins on his way up. It was so funny, and I'm sure the fact that I was laughing hysterically didn't help my point come across that he needed to stop doing it.

These two are a riot. I love my little Calvin and Hobbes. They couldn't have been dressed as anything else that mirrored their personalities so well.

Hey..my name is Christel and I have known Jill since I was 12, and Kyle a little after that. I don't want to give the impression that I am some creepy blog stalker, I was just on Jill's blog, and noticed your blog. You and Kyle have such a beautiful family, and I also wanted to tell you what an amazing photographer you are! I love looking at your pictures! Anyway, I just wanted to say hello. :)
