Happy Halloween



I love halloween, it is one of my favorite holidays. I love dressing up, I just wish I had somewhere to go once I am dressed up! We did get to go and crash the Murdock family event this year and that was great.

This year Jacob decided a month or so before Halloween that he wanted to be The night. Hmmmm I said, how will we do that? Easy he said, just put stars on a black outfit and paint the moon on my face, so that is what I attempted to do. The face paint didn't work out so well, but Jacob said, it is great Mom. Jacob is so easy to please. Brandon wanted to be Michael Jackson, but I didn't want to spend a lot on a costume so he was thrilled with the mullet wig I brought home for him on Halloween. Jonah didn't get a choice, Jacob was Yoda when he was 2 and so Jonah just had to be as well because I loved the costume I put together so much. He was darling! I have always wanted to be Cruella de Ville and last year my friend Lindsay bought this costume so I borrowed it for this year. I wanted the boys to dress up like dalmations with me, but they didn't think that was a great idea.

Next year I think I will have to at least have a family halloween party so we get to wear our costumes more than once. I love trick or treating and am sad every year when not as many people go out. I will continue hauling my kids around the neighborhood. So there are my thoughts on Halloween, it certainly came and went quickly this year.

Jacob's costume turned out very, very cute. Why don't people trick or treat much anymore? And why don't you ever host a Halloween party? I, yes, me who dislikes Halloween would, if I didn't have so many birthdays to deal with around the same time.

I love your costume. If you have a Halloween party you have to invite me too. I was telling Casey that if we don't end up being invited to a Halloween party next year then I am doing one, which would probably only be possible if we lived somewhere else.

Oh I want to come too! We used to have great Halloween parties in England! Everyone would rent great costumes and the party was always great fun. See you already have six people who would come.
