To say we were indecisive this year about what to dress as is an understatement. We started discussing our options months ago, but were never settled on the IT thing. We had ideas that would include the entire family, but Caroline (the only decisive one on this issue) continually insisted she was going to be Ariel. On Sunday evening we were still going back and forth. I think it was finally on Monday we finalized our plans. Or so we thought. When it came time to actually start gathering the necessary materials, we ended up changing who was going to be who. By Tuesday evening, though, we had it all squared away and all that was left to do was put them together.
Halloween night we got to celebrate our sweet friend, Azure and her 3rd birthday - yes, her birthday is actually on Halloween. Cool, right?! We got together for a mini celebration of cupcakes and a pinata then we were off in our AWESOME neighborhood for some tricking and even more treating. I have to say how much I love our neighborhood at Halloween. So many people participate with their festive decorations and cheery smiles to greet the kiddos. Our kids loved running from house to house collecting goodies and showing off their costumes. Caroline's shrieks of pure delight at each new addition to her bag made me wish Halloween was more than just once a year.
And now, here we are in our costumed glory.
I give you Chad as Larry, Lacey as Curly and Jackson as Moe of the Three Stooges.
And sweet Caroline as Ariel. Just what she wanted.
I absolutely love dressing up with my family. It just makes the whole night so much more fun. I think the kids get a kick out of it too. At least they do now. In a few years, mom in a bald cap will probably ruin their lives. Until then, we'll continue dressing up. Who am I kidding? We'll probably keep dressing up even then. They'll live.
