Happy Halloween!

I LOVE Halloween and we had such a fun one! The kids were so excited all month! Tyler was Zorro, Brooklyn was a glamorous cat, Derek was a vampire, and Benjamin was Elmo (as long as he kept his hat on).

They were excited to dress up in their costumes for school. Tyler has never loved costumes and getting dressed up, so he wasn't as excited about that. Brooklyn and Derek couldn't wait.

Here's them dressed up and ready for school (don't look too close at Derek's makeup, I barely had enough time to do it before running him to Kindergarten!)

FYI--You can click on the pictures to see them better...

On the day before Halloween, we went to Kevin's work party. It's always a lot of fun. They decorate the whole office and the kids trick-or-treat at each door. They also have pizza and cookies. It's so much fun and the kids LOVE it, except Benjamin was scared of most of the decorations!

And of course, on Halloween we went Trick-or-Treating. I LOVE Trick-or-Treating (or watching the children Trick-of-Treat)! I always relive my childhood vicariously through my children. I still feel sad when we have to head home and wait a whole 'nother year to Trick-or-Treat again. I think I've passed this trait on to my children too, because they never want to quit either.

Before we left for Trick-or-Treating. Benjamin was thrilled...

The after effect...

Goodbye Halloween...'till next year!
