Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, readers!

The days of the wild grown-up Halloween parties are long-past for Mack and I, but we are keeping the spirit alive in our Littles. Last year’s McG Kids Costume shoots were such much fun, we knew we had to do it up big again this year!

In keeping with his over-the-top nature, Jack decided to go for a very cinematic costume this year. We think he makes a pretty stellar Captain America, don’t you?

By the way, we did not actually put our son in harm’s way for these pictures. That’s what Photoshop is for. 🙂

Dorothy is the Cowardly Lion this year! The photoshoot lasted 8 minutes, and was difficult because… well, our daughter is a diva. But any time a camera is NOT pointed at her, she’s more than happy to put her little paws up and give a great big RAWR!

I’m sure all the hard partying took place over the weekend, but just in case any of you are purists about celebrating a holiday on the actual day… Happy Spooking! 🙂
