Spooky Kids

Okay... get ready for a LOT of pictures. We had a GREAT Halloween this year. Our kids had fun trying to come up with what they'd be this year. We had a few ideas that we ended up having to scrap, because we decided that they may be just a little uncomfortable! E, K and B all came up with things that ended up being really easy! Eryn as a zombie cheerleader was a piece of cake! (Other than having to dig through a few boxes to find one of my old cheer skirts!) Kaitlyn as a mime was easy - just had to find a beret and paint her face. Bryson's was easy - we found a GREAT jacket at Walmart, and then just cut out some bones from stick-on felt for the black sweats. Hayden's was the hard one. Where do you find a Percy the train costume? No where! So a box, two cans of green spray paint, covering back over Hayden's black paint job from when I wasn't looking, lots of gluing and a couple of re-arranged straps later and there ya go! And when he said he didn't want to wear it, Mommy wasn't too happy. He was told that he would wear it or he would not trick-or-treat. He wore it... and loved it (all except when he was falling down - yeah... not so easy to wear apparently). Everyone ended up with more candy than any kid should be allowed to consume, and we had FUN! Plus we went to Grandma Cheryl and PapaBob's house for Mummy Dogs, pulled pork sandwiches and Frankenstein pudding (thanks to Aunt Jo) AND we watched "Thriller" - yep, that good ol' Michael Jackson song that I've loved since third grade! My kids LOVED it, but they thought it was kinda funny. (which was probably just a cover-up for being scared HEHE).Actually, Bryson woke up the next morning wanting to watch it again! Here are a few pics (A few? Yeah right!) Enjoy!
