HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
Over the top? Definitely. We are big on Halloween here. I've come to the decision that since the kids want to have fun, I've got to be part of the fun for it to work. Today I got on my Enthusiastic Mom hair wear and took the boys to bowling. After Bowling I needed to pick up a few things in town, now it's only on the 31st of October that I can walk into any store wearing my spider trimmed hair wear and not get strange looks. If only these people were this much fun the rest of the year. Smiles ROCK!It's taken some time for Hubbie to come around though, while we dated we went to a costume party, I bought me a "baby" costume, pretty easy to do, but Hubbie came to my parents house to pick me up in his jeans and T-shirt and fall jacket. My Mom helped him out. She dragged out a hunter Orange hat, Vest, my Dad's Checked Flannel Jacket he used for taking in the wood, and found a Gun Case in my Brother's Closet! instant Hunter Costume. The following year we rented bunny costumes. Some woman, in our old town, had a whole basement full of costumes she's made over the years. Two white bunnies made out of Flannel Sheets. We were Kyoot but alas there are no pictures or proof. After we got married, I'd stay home and answer the door and Hubbie would work a late shift. He had little patiences for the doorbell, but once we had kids? YES!I get to dress our kids up as animals. TJ is 10 so there are no pictures of him on the computer in his Cougar suit, he was very cute! AJ also wore the Cougar suit his first Halloween. MJ was too big for the cougar suit the first year so he was a Dalmation. I might be able to find that picture year on here... nope but I've got 3yrs ago, The two Power Rangers.

Tonight the boys are having some friends over to go trick or treating with. Hubbie has volunteered to stay home. He's currently going out to buy his costume parts. He couldn't find enough parts in my wardrobe. This morning the boys were Clifford the Big Red Dog, Red Power Ranger and Batman. Tonight they will be Redo of Clifford, Alvin the Chipmunk, and Ghost Rider.
I think they will have fun and I get to walk the neighbourhood.

Aww, cute costumes. I know what you mean about kids bringing around the holiday spirit. We've always "liked" Halloween but this year we went all out. We were counting last night and we took the kids to 7 different Halloween events this year PLUS school parties and trick or treating. It's madness.
That power ranger costume is great. We enjoy doing the trick or treating with the kids, almost as much as I enjoy "checking" their loot for questionable pieces. Gotta make sure all the candy is safe...by tasting it. ;)
What adorable costumes -- the kids looked great! And you're right about kids bringing up the holiday spirit -- I never paid much attention to Halloween until we had kids. Mac wouldn't let me ignore Halloween if I tried -- he loves it! :-)
Very cute costumes!
And, yeah for being over the top!!
whoa---no cell phone???? how do you live like this???
ha - something that you aren't! (ditto)
Great costumes! I don't think I've dressed up for Halloween since 2004, maybe it's time to get creative again. What? Halloween's over? Maybe next year..
Great costumes! And too bad you don't have photographic 'proof' of you and your hubby's creative ones... ;)
