Halloween!!!!

Is it just me or did October disappear in a blink?! We didn't have time to visit a pumpkin patch, finish our spooky crafts or carve pumpkins this year.  October is one of my favorite months, but it came and went too fast this year.

We rushed around like crazy after school yesterday and still didn't make it out the door for pictures until after dark. I was so bummed I lost my light for great photos, but these will do. We had my family over for Chili before hitting the street to load the kids up with candy.

Allow me to introduce to you... Princess Zelda, Rupunzel, Thor and Wonder Woman!!! 

Kamryn was Princess Zelda.  She spent a ton of time painting, sewing and making her armor.  She did such a great job and looked awesome!!  I can't believe I didn't get a great show of her costume and the back of the dress has a ton of detail as well.  I'll take better pictures soon. 

Gigi was Rupunzel and doesn't she look so much like her??!

Liv was Wonder Woman and looked so cute!!  Everything was "Scawy"!

Mister Owen was THOR!!  "I AM THOR!" he would repeat all night!!  He originally picked his costume because he really wanted a weapon.. "Do you want me to smack you with my Hammer?" 

He switched out of his hard Thor helmet and put on his "comfy" one.  I am so glad he settled on a costume last minute.. we went from Spiderman to Thor and yesterday morning Owen said "I'm going to be the best Ironman ever tonight!"  Ummm... or not! 

We have such a great neighborhood to Trick-Or-Treat in!!  There were hundreds of kids outside and lots of spooky houses!!  The kids had so much fun!  My favorite house had a spooky masked man hiding in the bushes and he would jump out as the kids were walking down the driveway.. Gigi freaked!!  Owen got his hammer out like, I got this monster!

Owen stashed his candy all around his stroller and only a few pieces made it into his bag.  After about an hour, half the family headed back to the house and the rest of us continued on.  Owen, Kamryn, Gigi and Rog went through a maze of houses until we found our way home. Our feet were tired, the kids had overflowing buckets of candy, and we were all ready for bed!!

We had such a great Halloween this year!!  The kids all looked great, the weather was amazing, and the atmosphere was spooky and fun!! I am sad that October is over and we just packed up our Halloween decorations. 

I love to listen to the kids as we walk back to our house.. "Next year, I'm gonna be......"
