Elsie HATED her costume. This is actually the next day. She would not smile for anything with that on. This is the first time that one of my kids didn't like their costume. It was interesting.
She was so excited to be an East High Cheerleader. At first she was a UTAH cheerleader until she realized that the colors were the same as HSM and that totally won out. Not that I blame her. She only did one street and came home and said "Do you think that is enough for the Halloween Witch?" This made me laugh (Halloween Witch ask me...long story)
Ellie liked her Dorothy costume. It wasn't until the Red slippers were on her feet that she LOVED it. Thank goodness one of my friends left them here by accident. (forgive me for letting her wear them...please hehehe:) She loved this whole candy business. In fact Jeron asked if he could hold her candy for her while she was walking and she got awful mad at him.
This is JJ's second year as a Vampire. He very much likes this look. He took off this year and went on his own. Next year we will have to get some fella's to go with him. He did a good job, and was excited to sort his candy when he got home. I use to do that. I love watching him getting older and seeing how much he is like me. One major difference, I was the last one in. I never stopped until all the lights on the street where out...and even then I would do a couple more. My kids are good just getting enough. silly!
David informed me thatI dress up like this every other year. With the day I had it was easy and fast...works in a pinch, and lets face it, it is my favorite;)
David was the first to arrive.
How great are they? Emma! It is Hannah Montana and her Dad!
Mama & Papa with the kids
Last but not least Grandma and Grandpa...and with costumes like that you can come anytime.
The kids love this one
If you are unwilling to think up your own costume one will be provided for you.
Love the costumes. Ellie didn't even recogonize Grandpa
Silly Papa
Love the look!
I need to remember one thing. No matter what you don't accomplish on Halloween I can not ruin it for the kids. I had all these great plans of making a Haunted House cake, cookies, and Donuts. There was a snag in my day and these things did not happen. I spent a good part of the day thinking about how much I ruined Halloween for them. As soon as they were dressed and ready to go I realized that I did not ruin anything for them. They were so excited to go get candy and just have fun. They didn't want to eat dinner until they got back. It was fun to see them so excited even with out all of the hullabaloo that I had planned. Next year I will take a chill pill,relax and enjoy the ride.

That's what I always did. I think that's why you feel like you need to do everything because I made it pretty simple! Oh well.
It looks like you had a great time with the simple, which is what always happens in our house.
What a fun Halloween! The kiddos looked great! What does the Halloween witch do with all the candy she takes?....I would eat it!!
funny pics! you are so good about blogging! love looking at it! :)
Awe how cute your blog is! I had SO much fun at your house... we need to go over more often!
Jeron was born to wear a mullet! Those pictures were so funny! Your kids looked really cute in their costumes...don't you love having a little pumpkin to carry around and snuggle?
Very cute costumes and pumpkins!
Megan, I have been meaning to talk to you; I feel bad about the doughnuts. My day turned a bit nuts too. I tried to call you and it went to your voicemail and it just didn't happen. We will do it though. Whatever - that doesn't look simple. It looks like you did a ton and you already frosted cookies - you are too hard on yourself. You are a fabulous mom!
BTW - whose red shoes? Are they Chloe's? They are really Ellie's, if those are the ones she wore. So funny.
They look so cute and of course scary in J.J.'s case. I think as Moms you are in charge of everything all the time and forget to sit back and enjoy it. I know that sounds exactly like me!
They all look darling... except for maybe that wig that Jeron and Jeff had on. I LOVED Ellie's costume, cute little Dorothy. Emma looked adorable and so did Elsie. JJ looked super creepy. See... Halloween is a lot more fun when you have kids.
Love it ALL! Your kids look fabulous. Isn't Halloween so much fun!
