Halloween

I literally felt like we just had Halloween, and here we are again deciding on what costume we want and preparing for trick-or-treating. Where has the year gone?!?!

I asked Christian a while back what he wanted to be for Halloween and he just couldn't decide. Finally he said he wanted to be the blue power ranger. I'm not really sure why, he doesn't watch the show. I remember my nephew watching it when he was younger and it was not any were near as violent as it is today. However that was the only thing he said he liked. Colin on the other hand is still at an age were I can make the decision for him and he's happy.

The Saturday after we left the corn maze we headed to party city to see what we could find. I am not a huge Halloween fan, but when you have kids it all about them. Growing up we never went trick-or-treating, we always attended the fall festival at the church. Party City was crazy, surprise, surprise! We were not there 5 minutes and Christian saw the Power Ranger outfit, in blue and red. There was a big "sold out" sign across the picture. I asked the guy there if they would be receiving any more in and he said that the power ranger outfit were so popular that they were sold out every were. He even said you could not order them online. So we had to figure out something else for him to be.

My mom, so kindly, gave the boys a Frankenstein monster she got at the Hallmark store, that sings the "Monster Mash" and dances. Ever since they got it Colin has been saying he wanted to be a monster. We found the cutest little monster costume! Christian walked around for about 10-15 minutes and finally decided on a storm trooper from Star Wars.

Monday for Halloween we headed over to my parents to trick or treat. We only go up and down 2-3 streets and it's plenty for the kids.

Storm Trooper!!

Little Monster!!

Mario!!

Little Poodle!

 

It was a little chilly outside, so mom and dad put the fire pit out front on the drive way to hand out candy, and after all the trick or treating was done we finished the night up with s'mores!

 

 

We had a great time, the kids had fun and that's all that matters!
