And none of this store bought costume business, either. Think old school, Lou Ferrigno Hulk. We painted Marco green, ripped his clothes and taught him a couple choice phrases, "Hulk Smash!" and "You wouldn't like me mad."
Then he started to seem a little scary, so we told him he should come up with some nice Hulk things to say so that he didn't scare the (very few) girls at school. So, he worked in, "Hulk like flowers!" I thought it was pretty sweet.
As you can see, by the time the school parade started, the Hulk was turning back into Bruce Banner, mostly around the face. (Next time - industrial paint!) Super Grandma came to the school parade with cousin Lucy in tow. Jeff even managed to sneak by for the visit.
Here's some proof:
At night, we had our friends over for grown up Mac 'n Cheese (bacon, three cheeses, green beans...) and roadie trick or treating on the most packed street in our hood. Minnie Mouse, the Superhero siblings, Peter Pan and the Hulk had a BLAST.
Marco loved all the scary decorations, people hiding to scare the kids and he's still talking about a boy dressed as a headless man.
Best of all, we found another treat Marco liked. Pumpkin seeds!
(Would you have guessed that Jeff made the girl pumpkin?)
