Halloween

I'm not normal. You all know that. Christmas is not my favorite holiday. Yes, I'm coming out of the closet on this. I simply love Halloween. I can hear the gasps from some of you and the "But Halloween is of the devil" remarks, but none-the-less, I am a fan. If it is truly of the devil, then I'm just getting to know him a little better before I have to live an eternity with him (just kidding all of you who are still freaking out about the whole "Christmas not being my favorite" thing). We do the whole decorate for Halloween thing inside the house. One day we'll have some awesome outside stuff too, but until then, the dollar store door cover does the trick. Our kids, however, must be dressed well for the occasion. This year Tyson started the theme for us by picking to be Luke Skywalker. There was no Luke in the stores, so he's Anakin. Anna is Princess Leia (she calls her Aleia) but no, she's not wearing the bikini costume. We won't let our daughter dress like that until AT LEAST 8 years old (again, sarcasm people- lighten up) and Brayden is Yoda. We got his costume today and it's SO DANG CUTE! Thought I'd share some pictures.... "Yoda, Y-O-D-A, Yoda" (Weird Al)
Anna as Cinderella with a fat little bro.

Anna hit her head on the counter. We told her to be careful and two minutes later she did it again.


My hands were nasty with the dried pumpkin guts. We always bake the seeds, so I had Tyson pick the seeds out of the guts in the bowl. He started gagging. He has a very weak stomach.

Yes, I love it!! I would love to be a themed family for Halloween. (just a secret . . . it's my favorite too!) I love dressing up, and eating chocolate! Love the starwars theme! Too cute! My kids are happy wearing the same costumes as last year - so I'm jumping for joy!

You're not alone - Halloween is my favorite too! We also do the themed costumes. This year we are doctors and accident victims. The boys are VERY excited about the temporary tattoos that look like bloody sores and scars...of course!
