Halloween Costume Trial-Run

I am pleased as punch to finally be able to share these awesome photos from October 10th… Ladies and Gentlemen, Ian’s 2009 Halloween costume.

Who’s got the power, the power to read, who answers the call for friends in need? See this image larger.

SuperWhy! See this image larger.

Don’t know who that is? Well, relax, he’s from a PBS Kids show that teaches all kinds of important goodies about how to read, etc. Here’s a picture of him from the show.

I know, the mask is a little big. Luckily, Daddy went a little nuts and bought the gizmo that SuperWhy usually carries on his person for Ian to also carry with him. And THAT included a cape and mask that actually fit better. I have a hilarious video to share with you that shows when said gift was bestowed. Maybe I’ll save that for Sunday. See this image larger.

SuperWhy! is that same show where they ask the viewer to put their arm in so they can do a sort of team cheer. “SuperReaders, to the rescue!!!” See this image larger.

Can I get a closer crop, you ask? Photoshop, to the rescue!! That is one happy child, right there.

*Alright Ian, what do we say to our neighbors on Halloween when they give us an apple?* See this image larger.

You can tell he’s pretty much convinced that he has super powers at this point… See this image larger.

…which should really not surprise anybody — he’s had super speed since he learned to run. (This shot almost looks like he just landed from flying around the room, doesn’t it?) See this image larger.

I love the casualness of this shot: *Yeah, I’m a superhero, what’s up? Your name’s Lois Lane? Awesome. You like PB-J’s?* See this image larger.

We got a great reaction when we decided he should see how he looks! Can’t wait for Halloween now! See this image larger.
