Happy Halloween!!

Since I am starting my blogging month I thought I would begin with October 31st and include pics of Halloween! This is one of my favorite holidays and it is SO much fun now that the kids are getting old enough to understand what is going on. It actually gives me a good excuse to go trick-or-treating again! :)

The day started with Alec going to preschool where it was grandparents day. Grammie, Papa, and Grandma all joined Alec in his classroom for some art projects and singing. The report I heard was that Alec decided not to sing, but to stand up with the class and make funny faces instead. Little goofball! Everyone had a great time and Alec was proud to show off his school! After that we had a nice lunch at Mimi's Cafe before heading home for naps.

Once Daddy was home we ate some dinner and then got the kids suited up in their costumes. The boys were Jedi's for Halloween. When I was making the costumes Alec was very specific that he wanted to be a GOOD Jedi, not a bad one. He ended up as Anakin and Aaron was Obi-won. The boys wanted me to make Ashley dress as Princess Leah but considering this was my first Halloween getting to dress up a girl, I just could not do it. She ended up as a ballerina instead and looked SO beautiful!

We all went out trick-or-treating and the boys totally scored on their candy. We let them have one piece each, which quickly became about 3 or 4 pieces each and then we all went to bed very exhausted. It was a wonderful day and I look forward to doing it all over again next year!!

Two little jedi's waiting patiently for the door to open. Once they received their candy Alec would say to the people, "Thank you VERY much, have a VERY happy Halloween!!" So darn cute!

The boys got quite a stash! Now I just have to make sure and not eat it all myself!!
