Logan started reading the Harry Potter series about six weeks ago. He got thoroughly entranced with the Potter universe and has been making plans for his own sort of fan fiction. I keep finding sheets of paper with drawings and lists of spells and potions and things that he wants to include when he writes his book. Anyway, that was the inspiration for his Halloween costume.
The very first day we talked about Halloween costumes we came across a particular sort of ninja costume that Declan decided was made for him. It's not just a regular old ninja, it's a Shadow Ice Wolf Ninja and when you ask Declan what he will be for Halloween, he'll give you the full title. Don't call it a ninja. Declan was a different kind of ninja last year, so both Chris and I attempted at various times throughout the month to convince him that there were many other suitable costumes. However, Declan being the Declan we know and love, had made up his mind and dug in his heels. Shadow Ice Wolf Ninja it was. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
Prior to the trick-or-treating, there was an epic battle in the kitchen.
On the way home from the candy-getting, I told Declan he could take his mask off if he wanted. I heard him breathe a sigh of relief as he pulled it up over his head and said, "Good idea. It smelled pretty bad in there."
