Halloween 2009

We had issues this year with our costumes. I normally get them ordered in a timely manner, but I have been so pre-occupied with work and other things, that I failed in getting them ordered. Ryen always wanted to be a nurse, but the costume I originally wanted was all sold out. (By the way, there are some nasty nurse costumes out there, I googled Youth Nurse Costumes and boy there came up some interesting adult costumes.) Carter wanted to be some scary person. I am not ready for him to do the scary thing yet. I hate that Halloween is associated with creepiness. I wanted him to be a doctor but he said "NO" to that. He picked the Army outfit and we luckily found one for Jack that matched.

Jack stayed at home to hand out the treats. Brad and I took turns staying home with him. He tried to sneak out the door every time a trick or treater came. He was wearing me out. I can't believe how nice the weather was this year, especially since we just had snow a few short days ago. I think we had a record amount of trick or treaters. We went through so much candy. I finally had to hand the candy out myself because we were down to the bare minimum.
The pumpkin carving turned out well. The kids were excited with their pumpkins. We grew these pumpkins so I am pretty sure Brad was proud of them.








Well another Halloween is over. We had a lot of fun, but we were all tired. Everyone slept well, maybe it was because they were full of candy. It doesn't matter to me, as long as they sleep, do I hear an amen to that?

I also missed this post...strange. The kids look adorable. I heard that you may be going to Grandma Donna's for Thanksgiving so I hope that's true. I'll see you there! Love their outfits.
