Happy Halloween!

This is one of my favorite holidays! I get a kick out of dressing up and I love candy and pumpkins. Candy pumpkins? Even better! Oh the treats are fantastic. Halloween just ushers in all of the delicious smells and chilly fun of fall and the holiday season.

We (meaning I) decided to dress us up in some Despicable Me get-up. My Mom made, yes made, those perfect little yellow sweatshirts for the boys. I took on the evil role as the purple minion while Rob played Gru. I think it all turned out fabulous.  I did however procrastinate finding a bald cap for Rob. I offered to shave his head instead, insisting he should get more into character for Halloween. He, surprisingly, declined. Do you love that the muscles we created kept sagging into a belly. Sorry Gru.

Anyways, I'm trying to get in as many group costumes as I can before the kids mutiny on me and decide it isn't "cool" anymore to dress up with Mom. It's almost time to start thinking about next year. Wizard of oz? Mary Poppins and some chimney sweeps? Peter pan,  John, Michael and Wendy? The possibilities here are endless. Which one will most embarrass Rob? That could be a fun decider.

 To continue the festivities, we enjoyed the trunk or treat at church (I always love me a good chili cook off), had a Halloween party at swim team, were invited to a sweet party, and we decorated pumpkins with a friend. Let the good times roll.

Nice party Kelly!

What the? He said he was looking for toys.

Working hard?

Hardly working.

"I got the guts mommy." Yes, yes you did.
