This year for Halloween Alex decided that he was going to be “Clone Trooper Rex” from Star Wars The Clone Wars. At the beginning of October we got a catalog in the mail and it had a bunch of costumes in it and he immediately zeroed in on Clone Trooper Rex. Andrew on the other had just couldn’t decide what he wanted to be. Every time you asked him he would would tell you something different. Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Yoda, you name it he came out with.
After the Disney trip we thought he might have something in mind but it was still the same. On the 30th Jen took Andrew to the store to to pick out something and before they left the house he had finally decided he wanted to be Darth Vader. (It seemed like an odd choice since at Disney when Darth Vader made an appearance he totally freaked out and jumped out of the stroller and into Jen’s arms.) When they got to the store they didn’t have any Darth Vader masks so that costume was out. (Jen wasn’t very disappointed out that.) After looking through the rest of the selection he decided on Peter Pan.
It was just about impossible to get them to stand still for the picture and most of the ones I have they are acting out their characters and generally being crazy before going out Trick or Treating so here you go.
Alex’s choice of being Clone Trooper Rex made of laugh a little. When I was eight or nine years old I went as Luke Skywalker in X-Wing Pilot uniform. Who would have thought that 25 years after I went as a Star Wars character my son would be going as the same thing.
