Optimus Prime

For over a month now Ethan has been planning on being Optimus Prime for Halloween. He has never seen any movies or cartoons of transformers. All it took was one book from the library about transformers and he has been hooked. Everything relates to transformers and Ethan knows it all...it's amazing what you can learn from a book.

Not only is Ethan hooked on Transformers, but he has now converted his friend Maxie. Ethan and Maxie have been true kindred spirits since they met over two years ago. Where one goes the other follows. Maxie was planning on being the Little Mermaid for Halloween until Ethan shared with her that he was going to be Optimus Prime. From that moment on, all she wanted to be was a transformer, also. Her mom tried everything to convince her otherwise, but eventually gave in and bought her an Optimus Prime costume. So as you will see in the pictures, we had two very cute Optimus Primes.




This is Ethan before his first costume party, a week before Halloween.
On Thursday, the day before Halloween, Ethan's preschool did a costume parade for the families.

Here they are about to embark on a night of collecting candy: Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime, and Rachel Ray (Maggie).

Even Grandpa was able to come trick or treating with us this year. This was his first year where he didn't have to study on Halloween.

Here they are examining their candy. They had so much fun.
