Happy Halloween 2011

I LOVE Halloween! I love dressing up, I love going around visiting with all my neighbors, I love eating homemade donuts, I love the thought of kit kats and almond joys being in my house, I just love it.

I always want to go to a Halloween party and so I decided next year I am having a party! Don’t let me forget.

I spent a long time wrapping Jacob up like a mummy, it lasted about 5 seconds.

Jonah saw this monkey costume at Costco and fell in love with it. He carried it around the store hugging it. The largest size they had was 24 months…..thank goodness it fit him. And yes he wanted to carry around the giraffe halloween bag.

Brandon broke my rule and made me mad. My kids can go trick or treating every year of their life……as long as they really dress up. He was all set to be a certain NBA player and then he comes running in the door and says, “Me, Sam and Davis are all being football fans”. I said, “that is not dressing up! That is who you really are”. I let him go, but was mad all night. I won’t ever let that happen again!

I am very proud to say that I made that skirt. Yes, me all by myself (with lots of walking me through it help from Tiffany) made it. I was very proud of it. I spent so much time and thought on the skirt, I forgot to get a cute shirt to go with. Oh well, maybe next year.

It must run in the family. Here is Nate and Aliska dressed up like characters from the movie Labyrinth. I was so jealous of them going to a party.

And the sight last night as the boys were trading candy. Jonah didn’t really understand what they were doing and kept giving all his candy away. He was mad when I had him put it all back in his grocery sack, he really wanted the bag!

Oh until next year……..I will have to be thinking about my party all year long!

I almost forgot to add pics of our pumpkins! I spent a LONG time on this scooby doo one for Jonah. Next year we are sticking with traditional jack o lanterns!

Brandon and Jacob did nice jobs on theirs, although I think I did most of Jacob's.
