target keeps halloween alive

alex and i are very predictible.
just about every morning after we drop off ben at preschool we head to target.
this morning was no different.
EXCEPT ... we were able to spend 13 dollars and get HOURS of entertainment in return!!
the halloween stuff had just been marked down to 90% off!!
and we have 2 boys that LOVE to dress up as super heroes. so, i filled my cart.

by dinnertime, each costume had been tried on and modeled. here are my favorites - the highlights from our show:

we have drew modeling the adult size optimus prime. it was the costume that he really wanted for halloween. however, we couldn't find it in kid size for under 40 dollars at the time. so ... for 3 dollars ... it was worth it to buy the adult version for some post-halloween fun:)

NEXT ... we have our energetic, SUPER FAST, never stop second child modeling the flash costume. this costume is SO fitting on ben that i wish he would've been flash instead of spiderman this year :) of all of the costumes i bought, this one is by far my favorite!!

finally - not wanting to let a 6 year old's dare out do him ... we have daddy barnett modeling optimus prime with his "innocent" sidekick flash by his side.

it's been less than 12 hours and these costumes have already proved to be worth the $13 investment :)

target has come through yet again!
