Halloween

So Halloween is creeping up on us. I have to say, I'm not a fan. I like dressing up as something goofy and who doesn't love candy? I just hate the spooky, gory stuff & people that jump out and scare the kids (and me). David is pretty excited this year. Can you guess what he'll be? You guessed it! He's a clone trooper again! I guess it is kind of nice that we do the same costume every year with him. :) Morgan is throwing a party on Friday for her friends. I hope they all have fun, I'm a little overwhelmed. :) Her friends are all pretty good kids though, so hopefully no problems. Broden has, yet again, said he's going to opt out. He gets totally freaked out by the scary/gory costumes. I wonder where he got that? However I think, like in years past, he'll decide 10 minutes before we head out for trunk or treat that he wants to participate. I imagine he'll be some kind of soldier or a clone trooper as well. I am being completely unoriginal (according to my daughter) and taking a page from David's book. I am wearing last years costume of Rosie the Riveter. It's great! Jeans, comfy shirt, hair pulled back, and retro makeup! Hey, at least I dress up!
Well, I'm off to clean the house for the craziness tomorrow! Hopefully we'll have some fun pics to share. TTFN!

  1. I waffle back and forth about Halloween. I hate the piles of candy afterward and am a little embarrassed when I dress up, but I usually have fun when I get in the moment. This year it came too fast. I haven't decorated(the kids are a little put out about that)or done pumpkins and nearly forgot to go to trunk or treat last night. We have a party on Friday night to go to; just the grown ups so I hope its fun. I love your Rosie costume idea. It rocks.

  2. That is funny that David is a storm trooper over and over. Adam has been a Jedi for years, but this year something different....Yoda! :)

  3. I love Halloween!! I love to dress my kiddos up all funny and cute and to go crazy on decorating -hey if it looks a bad, no big deal! I am not a fan of the gory, scary, sick stuff either!
