Marley celebrated his third Halloween. The first year we were all Parisian(with mustache, berets, and stripes). The second year we went out as a family of D.J's and MC. Marley dressed up as DJ Lance Rock (carrying his cardboard boom box), Ahmed as Run from Run DMC and me Peppa from Salt&Peppa. This year Marley started a little early with costumes, a pre-Halloween if you will. I remember as a little girl dressing up into characters, stretching my artistic imagination and transforming myself into anything I wanted to be.......I guess I just never realized that little boys love to dress up too. Superheros ALL DAY LONG! Marley and his buddy Crimson traded costumes a couple of days before, getting into the spirit, they picked and carved a pumpkin. And then came the day!!!! Halloween parade at school and then....... Trick or Treat! Every kids dream. Free candy, take as much as you want. The mothers nightmare. All I am thinking is, where am I going to hide this and brake the news he cannot eat it all? So, I made a deal. Trick. I let him pick 7 candies, one for every day and to my surprise he went with it. He felt empowered!...he got to choose, we shook on it..........So It was a BIG deal. That went over well?!?!? Treat!
Marley's pre Halloween as Wolverine and Marley's official Halloween as Red Power Ranger.
