Halloween X 5

I love Halloween I really do, but does anyone feel like it takes FOREVER for this holiday to come? The years in the past have been really easy. We went to 1 thing and I got to pick their costumes out. Let's just say that didn't happen this year. The kids dressed up 5 times in a matter of 4 days. We had a birthday party, playgroup party, school party, Mama and Papa Z's Trunk or Treat and actual Halloween night. By the time Halloween came i was not in the mood and sick of fighting with my kids on what costume to wear. One day they wanted to be a storm trooper, the next day it was a black ninja, then spider man, and last Batman. Don't worry i didn't buy any of those costumes. I borrowed them and some were dress up clothes. I am thinking next year I will not even mention the word Halloween until a couple weeks before and then their costumes are going in the closet until it's dress up time. That way they won't get sick of them. Even though it was crazy it was fun to see the kids actually get into their characters. They had a lot of fun and are already talking about next year. I hope everyone had a fun Halloween!
My little Storm Trooper with his make believe gun. Oh and please don't mention that these are bad guys. Luke said something to him about it and he freaked out and came crying to me that Storm Troopers are the good guys. Yea we aren't a Star Wars family.
This was not her original costumes. She was supposed to be Tinkerbell but she had this dress in her dress up box and wanted to wear it.
The great thing about my husband is he will dress up as anything just to make me happy. We weren't planning on dressing up but last minute i found these in our costume box and i thought it would be cute. After about an hour of him wearing i told him he could take it off because it looked pretty gay.
Parker was a Dragon, NOT Barney!! Luke doesn't like this costume because it looks like Barney, whatever it was free! I still think he looks cute!

They all look really cute! I'm glad you guys had fun. But, yes, too many Halloween parties and way too much candy. I'm coming out of a sugar coma as we speak. I've got to get it out of my house!
