Halloween

I love that my kids are excited for holidays now. It helps me remember my childhood excitement and makes the days much more fun. This year, for Halloween, Landon wanted to be a ninja and Sam wanted to be a superhero. I made Sam a cape and mask and Chris put Landon's costume together and I think the boys were pleased with the results.



Seth was a bat, though he didn't like it when I snapped the cape together under his chin. He became very angry, actually. Screaming at the top of his lungs for quite some time, so when it came time to take pictures I took his feelings into account.

Chris also dressed up. He was a zombie. I wanted to wear the green knickers, my sister made for me several years ago, so I was going to be a plant, but in the end it just ended up looking stupid. On the other hand, Chris' costume was so realistic he scared several kids, including our Seth.

Our friends threw a party and the kids had some fun eating donuts.


After the kids were done some of the adults went at it as well.


When the party was over Chris took Landon and Sam trick-or-treating and Seth and I went home to pass out candy. the boys got a big haul and we didn't get rid of all our candy so we have a lot of candy around the house right now, and the only way to get rid of it is to eat it......




Tonight I'm taking the boys to their very first swimming lesson. I'm a little nervous, because they don't have a family changing room and I'm not sure how to get the boys through the locker room and to the pool.....I may have to drag Chris away from school for an hour to help me.
