Halloween 2009




My three pumpkins
The very scary tiger
The whole crew
Most houses he was more interested in decorations than getting candy at the door :)

Annual Swappin' Meet

Much fun was had and much candy was eaten....
The days of picking costumes for the kids are over :( I managed to talk Beckett into a costume much to his dismay. He was as bound and determined as a two year old could be to be "scary stuff". Anything having to do with ghosts, zombies, goblins, werewolfs, strange alien creatures was right up his alley. The funny thing is he was scared to death of anyone else dressed like that! I had gotten the tiger costume on clearance and after much convincing that it was a "very scary tiger" and me squealing and hopping around the house pretending to be scared he gave in. Seriously....who knew 2 year olds could be so opinionated!
Raegan debated between a witch, a cheerleader and a rock star diva. She debated so long that I finally just picked the cheerleader costume up at Target because I was afraid if she waited much longer there wouldn't be anything left!
Walker was easy going as usual. We were in Costco in early September, he saw it...he liked it...I bought it. He was a character called Snake Eyes from the new movie GI Joe Cobra. He has never seen the movie but thought it looked cool. On the day they did the costume parade at school I told him if anyone asks who he is, "You are Snake Eyes from GI Joe Cobra." He responded, "How do you know that mom?" Me..."I read the package." He thought about it for a second and said, "I will just say I'm a ninja, okay." I love that I have one child who is just simply simple. It made me chuckle.

We enjoyed our annual trailer ride with the neighbors and the kids and each year it seems we go a little further and stay out a little later. Next year Dave has plans of rigging a heater on the trailer (we saw a trailer that night with one) and Mom has plans for hot adult beverages :)
