Oops. But that’s what our Happy Halloween pic looks like, isn’t it? Iron Man vs Orange Goblin. (Rockstar was actually trying to pose for the camera but it looks like he is trying to palm blast Ms Rockstar.) Orange Goblin looks rather surprised at being thrust in harm’s way by her father. (Just can’t get good help these days.) But at least she can count on Mummy’s hand-me-downs for those don’t-have-a-thing-to-wear-to-fight-crime-fighters moments (yes, that really is my old dress she’s wearing; then I sewed the goblin hat onto one of her mesh headbands I normally use for keeping baby bedhead at bay)…
We brought Iron Man to Funzone at the Westwood shopping center in Pok Fu Lam today, just in case I couldn’t swing any night-time Halloween activities after doing all the baby chores and night feeds <sheepish>. Iron Man holding his dad’s hand outside Wellcome did cause some amusement at the mall, too bad we couldn’t also participate in the on-stage games because they were all carried out in Cantonese…
But my favorite is our superhero’s It’s No Big Deal pose when people wanted a pic.
(And yes, Iron Man is wearing his black Pumas today)
And then the superhero was off to sample the slides. (That’s him unhappy at being made to stay still for one more pic because Iron Man wants to run off into the cacophony of kids and parents.)
Because a superhero’s gotta do what a superhero’s gotta do.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ONE AND ALL!!!
ps: Orange Goblin fell asleep soon after we arrived. Watching that many other little people doing mind-boggling feats (a.k.a. running and climbing up things) was just too exhausting.
Nice costumes for Halloween! Fancy you thought of using your old dress as a orange goblin costume – briliant! And Ms Rockstar looks so cute in it. Rockstar did well as Iron man too.
Costume very cheap ya, like USD 20 for iron man online on sale, and then the goblin hat was HKD 25. My old dress was the only orange thing I had for her to wear (and I have nothing black for her)… Most importantly the iron man one allows Rockstar to move v freely and has the added bonus of being a coverall so I can just peel the whole thing off after a session at crowded germ-infested play area and he can go for dinner outside in his regular clothes underneath… clean!
