Halloween was really fun this year. It was the year of many costumes. It is a good thing we have an extensive dress-up closet to fit the changing moods of my fickle children. (Or maybe mom should try not to have such an influence on her growing children's decisions and let them make their own.....maybe they would stick to a costume they completely chose on their own).
With Caden in School now and Sarah in preschool, I felt like we celebrate Halloween forever!!! With every event, was a change of costume. We started out with Sarah's preschool party. she was a witch. Sorry, I have no pics, she was super grouchy and took her costume off because it was "too heavy". Next we went to Boo at the Zoo. It was a lot of fun. Caden was a night, Sarah, the witch again, and Hannah, a cute little lady bug because I thought it would be so cute, even though she pulled her doggy costume out of the dryer and ran around the room hugging it so tightly to her boy yelling, "goggy, goggy". I know, super cruel, but look at what a cute little bug she was. Next, was Trunk-or-Treat. Caden got to be the costume he originally wanted, a soldier, Sarah got lucky and a friend let her borrow her bear costume (after boo at the zoo she told us she did not want to be a witch anymore, she wanted to be a bear or monkey because she wanted to paint her nose and cheeks). Hannah was a lady bug again, but this time we made sure she understood that she was a bug, and since she likes to say that word, she was a little more excited. The fire alarm went off during the party so we all had to go outside and start the trunk-or-treating. The kids thought it was the greatest thing to see the fire men come in.
For his school party, Caden was a BSU football player. he got a lot of attention for that. I went in and helped out for his Halloween party. It was so much fun. I love to be in his class.
On Halloween morning, we had a little party for Caden and his Friends. Caden was a soldier, Sarah was Dorthy, and Hannah was a little Indian. The party was one of my favorite activities. I had a lot of Moms who helped and it turned out to be really fun. Finally for Halloween night, Sarah was a bear, Caden was a soldier and Hannah got to be the little dog she loves to be.
Dawn an Daniel came over with cute little Jenna, and Grandma and Grandpa came over to have Chili. The weather was beautiful and we had so much fun with the kids. Hannah was just so fun to watch. We sent her out with a little purse. She would march right up to the door and knock, when answered, she would hold out her little purse and say something that sounded like trick-or-treat, then close up her little purse, slide it on her shoulder, raise her little arm so that it didn't slide off, yell "kake you", then march right back down. It was just precious.
We only went to a few houses because surprisingly enough, the kids wanted to go back home so we could watch a movie together. Couldn't argue with that. It was a wonderful evening!!!

Caden got these and Hannah thought it was so funny to put them on and growl at us.

I though getting one costume together per person was hard enough! You're amazing.
