Our Halloween

 This year for Halloween we didn't do as much as usual. I didn't take any treats into the schools and we only had 1 Halloween party other than Trick or Treating. It was a very laid back holiday for once and I very much enjoyed it! We were very busy the night of Halloween however because someone thought it would be a great idea to have a HS soccer playoff game before trick or treating! Chelsea didn't do anything for Halloween at all because she is in the Beauty and the Beast play. They insisted that the kids have rehearsals instead of yummy candy fun. Go figure! Anyways, as I was running late because Ky's game ran into overtime, we quickly wolfed some dinner down, got costumes on (Thankfully the older kids had had the forsight to get themselves and the little ones as ready as possible) and as I was heading out the driveway to get Chelsea to practice an hour late and the rest of us to Trick or Treating 30 minutes late, I stopped the car, made everyone get out and we posed for pictures amongst many complaints.

We didn't have a lot of mulah for costumes this year. Actually Britten was the only one with a new bought costume this year because he worked hard to earn it. We have enough costumes that we've used and made over the years that were ok in the costume department. Madison used a costume that I made for Natasha's 8th grade play. I learned how to make a shirt look like it has muscles underneath in order to make Clayton the Hulk. For Allen all I had to do was make the hood, making the mask to go with it was not that easy though. He didn't care that it was stupid though. As he was getting dressed he kept saying "I'm bat man and I look good." As long as he was happy thats all that matters! He did ask who his Robin was going to be! It was very cute.

 Lindy dug through the costume box until she was able to piece together a pirate costume. She looked great even though people kept asking what she was. Really! just because she doesn't have all of the store bought accessories people, you can't use your imaginations! What is the world of constant video games and tv coming to?

I saw the idea on pinterest to be a little beauty queen from the show that I never watch Toddlers and Tiaras. I thought it was cute, super easy and fun to make and did not cost a lot. Just what I needed.

Minnie showed up for Trick or Treating with us, she got her first taste of how babies change lives. We spent a lot of the evening sitting on the curb feeding a baby. She took this picture of him earlier in the day. Such a baby angel. I don't know what I want to eat more, the candy or the baby! This by the way is Allen's favorite picture! Everytime he looks at my phone he insists on seeing the picture with Myles in the candy.

The one who cared about Halloween the very least!
