A Green Halloween

Here's what I liked best about Halloween this year: Adam, Ian, and Heath came up with their own costumes and put them together all by themselves (without Mom having to buy a thing!). And Luke was perfectly happy to wear a costume each of his older brothers had already broken in for him.

Drum roll, please, as we reveal the environmentally-friendly Welker Boys Costumes of 2009:

Tigger!




Magician/Wizard!




Tiny Tim!




"Yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet, raised to an alarming extent by Madison Avenue and Hollywood, poised with my clinical and alienated peers to take over the world when you're old and weak!"
(Adam may have borrowed this idea from some old friends named Calvin and Hobbes.)



Seriously, our recycling of Halloween costumes has everything to do with how much we love the earth, and nothing at all to do with my reluctance to spend money and time on something that will only be worn one day a year!

Such creative ideas, everyone! And very impressive to put them together from stuff you already had.

Fun to see all the costumes you guys came up with! I'll bet you had a great time. I thought Adam might dress up as Einstein :P
