In Halloween's past, I've written posts about how we somehow end up being strangely similar to our Halloween characters, and this year was no exception.
Luke was our shark-attack-surfer-victim. He may not be a great surfer in real life, but he does regularly get attacked by Jagger (our shark). Plus, while the blood on his head wasn't real, he was figuratively pretty bruised and bleeding. Life kind of just attacked him this week and he bandaged up his wounds and kept on surfing, dude.
I was the family lifeguard. My kids try extremely hard every day to put themselves in danger and I am the always-on-duty lifeguard of the troop. (Plus, I have literally saved 2/4 kids from near-drowning experiences, so I probably should actually become a lifeguard someday.)
Brooklyn was our Mermaid Queen. You guys, she is straight-up regal. If there really is a colony of under-sea mermaids, they are missing their leader. Brooklyn has sea water in her blood and I've never seen anyone as in-their-element as she is in the ocean.
Aubrey was our Mermaid Princess. She would be the perfect actress to be cast as a playful, flirty, mischievous mermaid. She loves causing harmless trouble and flitting from place to place like a spunky mystical nymph.
Cameron didn't go along with the family "Under-the-Sea" theme and instead donned his Police Officer Costume (which after making 4 costumes I was more than okay with). He's a perfect cop. He enjoys making sure others are following the rules and he believes strongly in duty and honor. (At least as much as a five year old can.)
Bailey was our Scuba Diver. She enjoys exploring and discovering foreign worlds. She has absolutely no fear and knows no bounds. She's not afraid to go deep and is constantly pushing her own invisible bounds.
