Halloween Past

It's here...almost! YES, we go all out! We love dressing up our kids for Halloween! I should say "I"...Jason gets into it, but he laughs at all of the searching and bargain hunting I do trying to find the perfect costumes each year! In case you're wondering, no...we don't dress up, but then I see costumes like this and this, and think Jason would make one hot Uncle Sam! :)

And, since we're getting ready to debut the boys costumes for this year, I thought I'd share their costumes from last year!

Jack was a 70's Rock Star! He got so into it and even put on a show at our weekly storytime at Barnes and Noble! This child had just turned 2...can you imagine the fun we have with this boy? :)


Max was a hot dog! He sucked his thumb non-stop back then, so we never got a picture of him without it in his mouth! :) We called him our little "Halloweiner"!


After several days of chocolate-induced hyperactivity, I was putting the costumes away and put Jack's 70's Rock Star wig on Max while he was playing in his exersaucer. Uncontainable laughter ensued...

  9. Max is too cute in the little Halloweiner costume! It is perfect. Our girls were both pumpkins last year, but this year we found both costumes at a garage sale (can't wait!). And thanks for the info on the apple orchard. We went their last year, and had a lot of fun. It is a great place, so maybe I'll take all the cousins this weekend (if it doesn't rain).

  14. Oh my word! Those pictures are just adorable!!!

    How exciting that you met a real live blogging friend! Wish I could have been there, too!

    Love the pumpkins. I would say that is a VERY FINE JOB for your first attempt at carving. My husband is also a master carver. He actually did one of his face once and it was amazing!

    Hope all is well with you. Sorry I have been away so long!

  17. Cute costumes. Have a wonderful Halloween. Can't wait to see your kids costumes this year.
    We too are looking forward to Halloween tomorrow. The kids have fun trick or treating. We do all kinds of fun things. First head down town for trick or treating...then go to some teachers/friends homes. We also meet friends for supper. Then go to either nursing homes or the college dorms. Plus we are planning on going to a church that has games going on and trunk or treat too.
