what an angel...

Before I begin....let me explain how Halloween goes at our house. Every year around the end of September I bring out the Halloween box. It has various costumes, wigs, decorations etc. I start asking the boys what they want to be. I come up with awesome ideas....no takers. The night before Halloween I am still asking them what they want to be. The costumes are then thrown together and usually taken off or not worn at all. I don't know how to change this pattern. It happens every year. They just don't get excited about dressing up, only about the candy! I don't push it. I would LOVE to have a theme and make elaborate costumes and work hard on them, but they just don't get into it, and I can't make them dress up. So this is what it looked like this year. At least I have Tayla who was just so so pretty as a little angel!

Tayla was just adorable in this angel costume! She was sick all weekend, so I don't have her usual happy face in the pictures, but she was so precious! I feel bad, but poor Logan didn't get a picture! I know, I know....he was Calvin from the comic Calvin and Hobbes. He basically wore a striped shirt and carried a tiger around.

This is the only shot I got of Kolby...he was um...a guy with bloody bandages on and a black cloak? (he has worn this cloak for three years now!)

Dallin wore this to a party on Saturday, but wouldn't wear a costume to the trunk or treat on Friday.

Preston looked so great in this mummy get-up, but then he looked in the mirror and just started crying and begging me to wash his face off and take off the bandages. He told me he looked too scary. I'm glad I got a picture though! I felt bad he didn't like it.

So there you have it, a messy, unorganized, un themed Halloween. But we had fun and that's all that counts right?
