Halloween!!!!



Well, Halloween is here! The kids are out right now trick-or-treating! I decided to be the passer-outer person this year since I have this big-ol stomach that seems to slow me down a bit. So Dan took the kids and Hank (Hank barks anytime a stranger comes to the door and I did not want to deal with that!) I can hear all the kids out having fun in the neighborhood. This town is amazing on Halloween! It is an actual fun holiday. The downtown is open all day for trick-or-treaters - meaning the local business have big bowls a candy and you can stop in at anytime with your dressed up kids and trick-or-treat. Which seems to be a great thing for people with toddlers because they can do their rounds before all the rowdy older kids come out and before bedtime.


Ryleigh was a mean witch this year. Do you know how hard it is to find a mean witch costume for a child?? Every costume company wants the kids to be a happy/good/ fairy/ pretty witch! We finally had to buy a bunch of different elements of costumes and put them together to create a witch costume. I am nervous for next year though, because she will not be able to fit into the children's sizes anymore and all the costumes for olders kids are - hello skanky! What am I going to do???!!!

Spencer is Venom - aka Dark Spiderman. Of course anyone that knows Spencer knows that this is right up his alley, of course he was one of 4 Venom's in his class at school (a class of 21 kids!) but he loves it! He loves spiderman so dang much it is hilarious!


Ethan is Anakin Skywalker in #2 - minus the braid. I think he just was wanting to carry around a lightsaber but whatever. He makes a very cute Anakin and he can't help himself - as you can see - but to whip the dang lightsaber around like he is in a constant fight with something from the dark side!





And, of course, since Hank was going to be going in the walk he had to be in costume, so he is a wiener dog skeleton! He is so cute - it glows in the dark. I got Noelle a hotdog costume but since her hysterectomy she has gained a few pounds and it is a little snug!

What great pictures of your Halloween. The costumes are very good - and I giggled through your discription of the pumpkin carving!! What a riot. You and Dan are such good parents. I think Hank's costume is a hoot, but I'll bet it makes him feel like he's big time!
Love you all tons.

So did they get their 8,400 calories of candy? Are you and Dan helping yourself to it at night? That is what any good parent would do. They look adorable and like they were having fun.

Poor Hank was actually humiliated about having to wear a costume at all. Anyone that knows Hank knows that he would just as soon blend into the furniture as be the spotlight. He's so funny!! I love this family so much!!
