A FUN HALLOWEEN

You know it's Halloween when you find all or part of a costume inseparable from one or more of your kids. No breakfast today w/out the pirate hat. Me thinks I see someone had some chocolate for breakfast. I am glad some one got breakfast because Mom did not, she was to busy trying to get people dressed and out the door.





We were in a hurry this morning to see our favorite Power Ranger in his parade. OOPS he left with his costume on backward and I did not notice until I saw this pic. Those arms outstretched were a hug coming my way. I am so glad he is still willing to give me a hug in public.

Later in the day we went to see our Miss M parade around the school and show off her pretty princess gown. I am so grateful for teachers. That is not a job I could do.



Before we went candy gathering we took pics of ourselves all spruced up and our cousins too. We had a yummy dinner together. Sort of together... There is never enough room for all of us to actually eat together. I just love that. I love coming from a big family especially around holidays because a holiday means we get to spend some quality time together. I have a super funny bunch of brothers who married amazing woman and because we are all raising little ones it's hard to actually find a time where we are all able to meet at once unless it's a holiday. Yeah for holidays:)




















Poor Little H had a rough night. She tried to get out of the wagon we were pulling the kids around in and went face first. She gave herself a nice bloody nose and changed the whole look of her Tinkerbell costume. So it was great when she fell a few more times and ripped her tights and skinned her knee. She was bloody scraped up mess and it was all for real. It was dark of coarse so we really couldn't tell how much blood had got on her or how much damage was done to her costume until we got home. The costume is a Miss M hand me down and since I am sure Bubbba does not want to wear it next year, we will cut our losses.







Now that all the candy gathering is done we can look forward to some wired kids and lots of begging for more. It's all part of the fun.

I love the pictures. My favorite by far is the tinkerbell costume, the one with the shadow on the fence, that is awesome.
I don't think we have ever had a halloween without an injury, somebody is always trying to run off but trips and falls and skins a knee or scrapes a hand.

Looks like a mostly fun time....minus the injuries! My Ellie was running too fast and biffed it as well, ripping a ribbon and flower off her dress and skinning her hands...but she was crying harder because the candy fell out of her pumpkin! Silly kid.

LOVE the Tinkerbell picture! The shadow on the fence is fantastic, and TOTALLY goes with Peter Pan....you know, he's always losing his shadow...

Love the pics and their costumes. Someone needs to teach me how to take photos. Poor Tinkerbell.
