Happy Halloween

Halloween really is one of my favorite holidays.  I love to dress up and I love seeing other people dressed up.  The problem is that I don’t start thinking about it early enough and so I never end up doing anything really cool.  Yesterday we worked in the yard, started carving pumpkins, raced out to Sandy to Brandon’s game, came back finished the pumpkins and it was time to get ready for trick-or-treating.  No time to be creative, not that I have a creative bone (or cell) in my body!  Anyways we ended up having a great night, in spite of the rain and cold weather.  Have I ever told you my plan for when I rule the world?  Halloween will be on September 30th and Thanksgiving will be on the 4th Thursday of October.  The weather will be nice for Halloween and there will be plenty of time to enjoy Thanksgiving before Christmas hits.

O.K. so here we are.

Me- I dressed up as Brandon (couldn’t quite get the football pants on )

Brandon- You tube Antoine Dodson if you don’t know who he is.

Jacob- A Vampire, not Edward

Jonah- A Dinosaur and a Giraffe.  Really just a giraffe but it made him happy to say he was both.

I am always torn on Halloween night.  Go trick-or-treating with the kids and get to see everyone and their reaction to the costumes.  Or stay home to pass out candy and see everyone else's costumes.  I usually try to do both, but this year Jonah did not want to stop, so I missed everyone coming to my house.  Lots of fun and lots of candy to show for it!

Oh man I love giraffes and I love Jonah Baby so those two things work nicely together. I also love Brandon, Antoine Dodson, Jacob, vampires, football players and YOU.
