Halloween 2016

Miles: The tiger costume that has served every 2- or 3-year-old Bankhead was repurposed as a Shere Khan costume. Miles is obsessed with The Jungle Book, thanks to his older siblings who performed in that production last spring.

Amos insisted on being a P.E.K.K.A. from Clash of Clans for several months, despite Amy's attempts to change his mind. As far as we could tell, no one else in the world makes that costume, so we rallied our creative juices and produced an outstanding costume that he was thrilled to wear.

Sadie had the brilliant idea of our whole family dressing as characters from the movie Inside Out, including Miles as Bing Bong and James as Anger. She had trouble recruiting willing participants, though, and rocked her Disgust without any sidekicks.

After nearly giving up on a Halloween costume all together, James assembled a respectable skeleton costume about 30 minutes before trick-or-treating began.

The evening ended with an epic candy-trading session with some neighbors.
