I almost have to gear up just as much to write this post as I did for the actual Halloween holiday.
There's a lot of pressure around these parts for the day of Halloween...considering it's practically celebrated 365 days of the year at our house.
Jack had picked out his costume idea weeks ago when he found a YouTube video of someone making a very ornate and totally awesome mummy costume. In true Jack form...he had to put his own twist on it, and decided he wanted to be a Mummy Zombie.
We worked together to make his costume...tearing, tea dying, tying, etc.....
He was right with me the entire way through the creative process.
The thing that sold me instantly on the costume, was that he got to wear white tights and a white turtleneck as his base layer.
I mean, check out this physique!
Hahahahahahahaha!
When we realized how cool the costume was going to be...I decided to have Tucker be the same thing.
On Halloween morning, we had to be at preschool by 9am...so, we started the day EARLY in order to have him wrapped and ready in time.
It was a labor of love, that's for sure.
And, here we have it!
We were both super pleased with the result.
I gotta give it to Jack...when he has a vision...it's usually something AMAZING.
I got to help in his class for his Halloween party, and it was so fun to see my little mummy zombie in action.
I think he needs to dress like this every day.
Jack's costume was definitely the highlight of Bear Hollow.
We came home, took a costume break and nap...and then it was time for Round 2.
Back went on the costume, and this time Tucker got to join in the fun.
It was quite the feat to get Tucker wrapped at all, so we nixed the head wrapping and sprayed his crazy hair white.
Getting a picture of the two of them that wasn't blurry was an even harder feat.
We started at Annie's house where we ate dinner and did some trick or treating.
We took a detour to the Halloween House (a totally over-the-top) house here in Lehi that we have visited nearly every day of October, on our way up to Alpine.
When we finally arrived in Alpine,
this was waiting for us...
Jack did a little more trick or treating, and we hung out with the gang for a while.
In the meantime, Tucker ate waaaaaaaay too much candy.
We came home so exhausted and so tired of dealing with mummy wrapping, that it was officially time for Halloween to end, and our regular day-to-day zombie/skeleton worshiping to resume.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, and again, and again. Jack's costume...hands down was my favorite this year. You've set the bar a bit high for yourself pal. I can't imagine what you're going to do next year to top that but I can't wait to find out! He's such a lucky little zombie mummy to have a mom who can create his insane vision. I can't wait to see him at our holiday parties rocking that white turtleneck.
