Halloween

We had a fun Halloween this year. It seems like the celebration of Halloween lasts longer and longer every year. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that my kids love to play dress up and pretend so costumes are used all month long! This year we had Hermione, a snake, a pumpkin and a dinosaur. We were able to go to the kids Halloween Carnival at school. They all really enjoyed themselves. On Saturday, Molli had a birthday party to go to so I took the kids around downtown Logan for a little bit. They enjoyed walking around and going to all the stores. The favorite thing was trick-or-treating around the neighborhood on Halloween night. The weather was so beautiful this year. It was very relaxing and fun to walk around up in North Logan.

Molli - She was pretty stoked about being Hermione. Her first choice was some fighter dude on a video game but I convinced her that she would be a better Hermione! :>) I asked her if she wanted to spray her hair brown. She said "No way!" and she made me promise to not put any make-up on her. I also thought she might want a time-turner necklace. She informed me that that was in Book 3 and she is the Hermione from Book 1. I am slowly learning!

Lincoln - He knew he wanted to be a snake for months. He also has the next couple of years already planned out. He was very happy with how the costume turned out. He was very excited to wear his costume to Mr.John's class for the Halloween party. It was an easy no fuss costume for Lincoln so he loved it!

Blake - He was determined to be a pumpkin because there are lots of pumpkins around on Halloween. Therefore, a pumpkin seemed to be the logical choice. His costume was done first so he got to wear it all of October. Every time he would wear it he would ask me if he looks cute in his hat. He definitely loved the fact that there was so much candy involved with Halloween. While we were trick-or-treating in Logan he told me that Halloween was the best day ever!

Bart - His brothers helped to decide that Bart would be a great dinosaur. He definitely was! He has the best roar around! The biggest problem was getting him not to chew on his tail. Other than that he was quite the trooper. He kept up with the other kids with no problem.

Those costumes are way cute! Did you make them? My friend let me borrow a dinosaur costume that looked just like that one for Brandon, his wasn't as shinny though. Way cute! Kids are funny the way they have things planned out, Brandon has told me what I get to be next year already.

What cute kids! I love the snake costume, what a great idea! I love how Molly was the girl from the first book and not the third! Halloween is such a fun time for kids!
