One of my favorite holidays of the year is Halloween. I love the fall weather. I love making Halloween costumes. I love trick or treating. Well, I got one out of the three this year!! It was SO hot when we were walking around trick or treating that Alec was sweating in his costume. There goes the fall weather! Then, with things being so busy traveling back to New York and the responsibilities that came with being a room mom in Alec's class this year I did not get an opportunity to make my kids costumes this year (can I hear a collective "GASP" in shock?) I know, I know. I purchased Ashley's costume in September knowing full well that I did not have the proper sewing machine to make a stretch bodice for her Tinker Bell costume. I was, however, going to make Alec's Captain Hook and Aaron's Peter Pan. The week that I had scheduled to make them was the week we were in New York. I decided to head to the Disney Store and just buy them. Good plan and took A LOT of the pressure off me...plus, by the time I decided this the costumes were 1/2 price, WOO HOO!!
We had a blast on Halloween night! As soon as we got home from school Alec and Aaron "helped" me carve our pumpkins. In actuality I carved with my big professional carving tools while they instructed me where to cut. We then made some homemade pizza just in time for Daddy to come home from work. After dinner we got suited up to go trick or treating!
Never-never land here we come!! 
Our family getting ready to head out to find some yummy candy! If Mommy had her act together a little more then Adam was going to be John and I was going to be Wendy. Oh well, the important ones got their costumes! 
Grammie and Papa with the munchkins. We loved that they were able to join us trick or treating this year! They were headed off to another party after they were done, hence my mom's black dress. Also, you can see our neighbors house in the background. They did a mini-haunted house with their front porch. Of course, my kids would not go near it...but then again, neither would I!
Grandpa and Grandma getting ready to trick or treat with us also!
Allie, Jason, Brooklyn, Melinda, Jason and Phoenix also joined us for trick or treating. Brooklyn was dressed as Dorothy and Phoenix was Tigger (not in this picture). We had a big group going around and it was so much fun!! The kids really got into it. By the end of the night their bags were so full of candy that Aaron could not carry his anymore!! What a wonderful night it was!
