Happy Friday! Happy Halloween! Five blogging days in a row! I did it! Woohoo!!

I am sharing a favorite through the years with you today. Get comfy, there are a lot of pictures here and most of them are so cute!

I decided to share our Halloween costumes here because they are always a favorite! Here we go…

2009 – Baby Jack wore all the costumes. He was the lobster. He was the tiger. He was a sweet little pumpkin.

2010 – Jack was a puppy. Looking back it’s a pretty funny costume because he does not like dogs!

2011 – Baby Luke was a sweet lobster and a pumpkin. Jack picked Cat in the Hat and my friend Barb helped me make the costume.

2012 – Jack was a UPS man and we turned the wagon into a UPS truck. Luke was Mickey Mouse.

2013 – The year of the super heroes and muscles! Luke was Spiderman and Jack was Captain America.

2014 – Jack was Leonardo and Luke was Batman. Jeff and I were Thing 1 and Thing 2 and I can’t find the picture.

2015 – Jeff and I were Thing 1 and Thing 2 again. Jack was an Orioles player and Luke was Leonardo.

2016 – We were just back from our Disney trip so we kept with the theme! Luke was Nemo and Jack was Darth Vader!

2017 – Jack was Messi and Luke was Optimus Prime. Jeff and I dressed up with friends and were Jessie and Slater from Saved by the Bell.

2018 – Rocking jerseys! Jack was Antonio Brown from the Steelers and Luke was Messi. Jeff and I were lifeguards.

2019 – More athletes for us this year. Jack was Minkah Fitzpatrick, Luke was a Juventus player, and their buddy was Patrick Mahomes. Jeff and I were Waldo and Wenda.

2020 – Jack was a sumo wrestler and Luke was a homemade house. The house didn’t make it all the whole way through trick-or-treating but he loved it!

2021 – Luke was a soccer player. Jack was a minion and his friend was Gru.

2022 – Jack and Luke dressed up with the neighbors with a Peanuts theme. Jack was Linus and Luke was Charlie Brown’s ghost costume. Jeff and I were Gru and the minion for a Halloween party.

2023 – Jack was a minion and Luke was a sumo wrestler. This was an easy costume year. Everyone picked from the costume bin!

2024 – This was the year of the costume change! Luke was a blowup kid riding a turkey and changed into Waldo. Jack was Perry the Platypus and changed into backwards jersey guys with his friend (Kris Kros maybe). My friend Amy and I were the guys from New Zealand that stomp/danced to fabulous music on social media.

2025 – The boys haven’t dressed up yet, but Jeff and I did. Jeff was a golfer and I was his caddie.

That was fun! You can tell when the boys figured out that I would buy them any jersey they wanted if they said that was who they wanted to dress up as for Halloween. I was happy to buy them because they got a lot more wear than a regular Halloween costume would get. Do you keep a bin of Halloween costumes? I am always glad I do. It comes in handy for spirit weeks, theme events, and when kids change their mind about their costume at the very last minute. We’ve had quite a few re-wears. Jack and Luke have spirit week at school this week and the minion and the platypus made an appearance.
