1,000! A walk back through Halloweens past

This is my 1,000th post!
In celebration, here are pictures from Halloween over the past 10 years.  It's hard to believe how time has flown.
2001:  We were in Los Angeles at my parents' house for the babies' first Halloween (Ben was studying for and taking an actuary exam).  Uncle Christian made 2 month old Joseph and Brigham bug wings for their first "costumes."

2002:  We went as the dog family.  Ben was an awfully good sport.  :-)

The adorableness of my babies just about kills me.

Yeah.  Like I said, Ben was a very good sport.  :-)

2003:  Thing 1 and Thing 2!  I went as the (7 months pregnant) Cat in the Hat.

2005:  Our first Halloween in Florida.  The boys went as bats.

Mosey went as his cute, rolie-polie-adorable little self.

(Joseph helped to decorate his own face.)  I made the bat wings and ears.  They had requested to be bats, and these costumes got lots of wear.

2005:  Store-bought superhero costumes this year.  Spiderman, Batman, and Superman.  The twins wore those costumes until they were practically rags.  I'm pretty sure that at some points they actually believed they *were* the real Spiderman and Batman.  :-)

2006:  Skeletons and a cute bumble bee.  Poor Mosey was positively drenched in sweat when the boys finally came home from trick-or-treating.

2007:  Joseph and Brigham had 2 costumes this year-- they were pirates at the ward Trunk or Treat.

Of course Mosey went as his adored Sunshine Bear.

For the actual Trick-or-Treating, however, Joseph and Brigham wanted to go as the Scream and a Dementor.  (No masks allowed at the church party, which accounts for the pirate costumes.  I wish they would have stuck with those costumes which I liked better anyway.)

2008: First Halloween home from the hospital.
This is still one of my favorite pictures of Brigham, dressed as a knight.

 
Joseph wanted to be a zombie this year.

But Mosey stayed with the adorable scene and stole the show in his Scooby suit.

2009:  Homemade costumes this year! Ben and Joseph went as sorcerers.  Brigham was a union soldier, and Mosey was a wolf.

2010:  Homemade again that year-- Brigham was a zombie.

Joseph looked totally creepy as an alien.

Mosey the Pirate!

Which brings us to 2011!  I wonder what they will be next year?
