Halloween 2012

We've been amped up here about Halloween for some time now.  Drew has mastered a convincing witch cackle ("Aa-aa-aa!") and his favorite word tonight was "creepy."  This year we decided to go with a basketball theme, since that's one of Drew's favorite things.  


Tess got to wear her costume in a parade for her preschool.  I volunteered to help for the parade and then managed to get a flat tire on the way to her school.  She was devastated that we might miss the parade, so we left the flat tire where it was and walked to borrow a friend's car.  I stayed for the parade and then headed back to rescue the bum tire (screw in the tire--they patched it pretty fast at the service station).  


Sure glad we didn't miss this!


Tess' cheers were a little muted after the anxious trip to school.


Her cute class.

The basketball gang all ready for trick-or-treating.  


"Hoop, hoop!"


Drew's outfit kind of looked more like a male cheerleader than a basketball player, but he was still cute.  And he kept his sweat bands on the whole time.



This kid is a candy-a-holic.  He has no idea of the good fortune coming his way.


Happy Halloween from the Higginbothams!

So adorable! Ryan is such a good sport! I think it might be your turn next year, Miriam. Let Ryan dress you up however he wants and then he can take the pictures. Very, very fun. Looks like they had a blast.
