First the pics, then we'll get into the explanation:

So, just to take you through the decision-making on this, here's how it went down:

1.) We thought it would be cute if I was Luke, Glo was Leia, and I'd have a little "Yoda" riding on my back, ala "Empire Strikes Back".

2.) But, when we started to look at baby Star Wars costumes, the baby Princess Leia was just too cute.

3.) That, right there, is where our thinking went off track. Does Glo then become Amidala? But then who do I become, in that scenario? Boss Nass? Greedo? Some dude in the background at Jabba's palace? It just wasn't working.

4.) So, we settled on the ol' comedy "Rule of Threes", and all went as Leia.

Et, voila.

In a day or two, I'll be posting pics of our family Halloween costume. It's pretty ridiculous. To prime the pump, I thought I'd share some past Halloween costumes. Let's see what pics I can find on the ol' hard drive, here...

OK: First up, me as Cap'n Crunch, from two or three years ago....

Next up: Gloria and I as tropical dancers. We called it "Halloween...Con Fuego." The mustache and flavor-saver, I'm happy to say, were real. The eye-liner, not so much. But Lord above, I was hammin' it up all night with that outfit. I think the last pic is my favorite, just for sheer ridiculousness of facial expression.

Anyway, this year both Glo and I had a few projects distracting us from our typical costume extravaganzas, but I think we managed to pull out a last-minute "win" over our Option A...which was "not doing anything at all". Pics forthcoming!

...And in the meantime, Happy Halloween!
