Halloween
We went a little overboard on dress-up costumes from Target. Lex wanted to be a hybrid Super-Spider-Bat-Boba Fett hero/villain.
The Captain was a surprise last-minute contender, based solely (I believe) on the fact that he had already WORN all the other new constumes at least once. It was the only one still on the original hanger after school on Monday, and so was the favorite. He was Spiderman at another party, and Darth Vader and Boba Fett at home over the weekend.
He is intensely interested in all things super. Or evil. Loves the Captain Underpants book series. The one about the wicked Wedgie Woman we read in full every few days. He is deeply fascinated by the distinction between naughty, bad, wicked and evil. The dark side of The Force. Justice.
