Uncle Bob came down for a short visit! My kids LOVE uncle Bob! Elyse just cuddled up on his lap..
Most of the kids making sure Bob got a good workout!
Doodles was a knight! It took Danny all day to construct this of old tupper wear storage bins!
Alex was a death worrior! Isn't he so scary?!
Jonathon, the monkey! This costume has been around for a while!
Last, but not least, Elyse the lady bug! She did NOT wear her wings that took me most of the day to make... It's all good, tho! I had fun even though I burnt my finger really bad with a hot glue gun..
Anybody who knows me knows how much I love Halloween! A lot of people can't wait for Halloween to be over so the "Holiday Season" can start, but for me, it starts Oct. 1st! Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday. Christmas is a very close second, tho. This year Danny did not have to work, which was nice! It was the first year he didn't work in a long time!! We both worked most of the day on the kids' costumes. I blasted Halloween music, and even sang (probably badly and out of tune!). The kids watched Halloween movies like "Casper", "Hocus Pocus", "The Adams Family", "The Adams Family Values", you get the idea.. The kids are much like me when it comes to Halloween. They LOVE it! I fed the kids an early dinner, then I got in my costume (oye ve..) and off we went to score some candy!! This year, Danny picked me out my costume. Usually when I'm with him I let him know what is slutty or inappropriate. This year, my costume was both! I wore leggings and a long sleeved shirt underneath to cover up the sluttiness. The costume was so cute, but something I would never have chosen for me to wear. I did get some classic looks from people, tho! I was holding Elyse's candy bucket and you'd be surprised by the amounts of people who would NOT give me candy.. Whatevs.. I did get a little embarassed running into people I know. If I didn't say "hi" to you, I'm sorry. Danny is FIRED from choosing me costumes!
We took the kids to three neighborhoods to fill up on candy. We got home around 9, 9:30 then sent the kids to bed. I always like watching scary movies on Halloween night. I like super scary ones! We usually watch "The Exorcist", but this year we watched "The Possession of Michael King". It was pretty creepy!
Now, I'm ready for Thanksgiving!! I can't wait for some yummy food and some family time!
