Halloween is fun, tasty, creepy and pointless all rolled up into one little ball.
First thing you are going to have to do is carve up an over priced pumpkin:
Which will gross your kids out.
Especially if you have a daughter kind of kid.
Two of my kids got brave enough to touch the guts.
Then all of the kids ran off bored out of their minds, while their father did all the hard work.
Halloween is not a big deal in the slightest here, so this was actually
only one of two jack-o-lanterns I saw in total this Halloween.
Sad, I KNOW!
On Halloween morning, I decided the best thing to do was
get my kids started on the inevitable sugar high.
It worked out well, as Conner and Lena ran circles around the
house for half an hour after they finished eating this.
Looking thrilled about it... except Jarom. "What I was really hoping for, was some granola
and wheat grass this morning, mother. But I suppose I'll make do with this..."
And now, without further ado... the costumes:
It was pretty and sparkly, therefore she wanted it.
His aim this Halloween was to just look scary. Mission accomplished...
little children everywhere were running scared from him.
Cutie-pie-oso!
It is a guaranteed thing that no matter what the holiday, one of my children
will be dissatisfied in some way. This time it was Jarom's turn. The problem with
being a mummy for Halloween, is that as soon as you take two steps, the whole
stinkin' thing begins to unravel. Which, as I found out, was the absolute worst thing
that could ever happen to a person in their entire life.
After the trick or treating, it was time for our little tradition of:
making pizzas...
Digging through the sugar....
(And time for Wes to randomly eat a can of pineapple)
And watching something "SCARY!"
Conner is still working on his TV watching skills. Sometimes
it's easy to forget where the TV is.
