We LOVE Halloween. Check out our scary pumpkins and give props to our carvers Jen and Ben from last weekends pumpkin carve-a-thon. But the stars of this show are Samantha, our scary giraffe - why scary? because everytime we put it on her, she says "rrrrooooaaaarrr!!". And our Bunny Fairy. Why bunny? Well since Halloween was 72 hours long this year (good point Beth!) we had several iterations of Elliot's fairy costume. The final one which made it trick or treating, we have no pictures of. Ben assures me, who cares, no big deal, but I assure you, I wish I had a pic of Elliot with her bunny headband instead of this blue one and of the makeup she directed me to put on her. Red. With lots of pink whiskers.
Look at Samantha working that runway above. She is seriously into trick or treating. Or would have been if not for being terrorized first by her grandma dressed as a witch and second by the giant zombie man who thought it was funny to walk toward our porch in a menacing manner - oooh tough guy, you scared a 1 year old. Yes you did. But in happier times, like below when we were at her school party, she lived it up with her adorable boyfriend devil, Liam.
Elliot is here with her classmates.
Auntie Kassi and cousin Alex join our ranks trick or treating at the Atrium Mall...which was lame. Very very lame. Except the part about being with our cousins and getting to dress up.
Ben looks normal, but the rest of us have our own level of crazy going on. This is about 8:30 PM after too much candy & trick or treating. Waiting for the stragglers to trick or treak on our porch.
And the next day: sorting the loot! I know as a mom, I am supposed to be all like, "oh no! what are we going to do with all this candy?!" But really, I was egging my babies on saying they could make it to one more house and "c'mon, you can get more candy than that!" And I am not alone in my house in this, as Ben was accused by a neighbor of being too controlling as he took a choco bar out of Sam's hand and traded it in for one he liked better. We have now instituted the "Daddy Tax" and "Mommy Tax" on all Halloween loot.
