Happy Halloween 2009

This year I wanted to make the kids black ants. But, with my busy schedule, I ended up making only one ant costume. Dallas and Jabin wanted to do their own costumes. Hadden didn't like her ant costume but I convinced her to wear it to the parade. The picture of her crying is from when I told her she wouldn't be changing into her Stephanie costume before we left for school. It was to skimpy of an outfit and it was freezing on Friday. Luckily it was nicer on Saturday and she wore the Stephanie, from Lrazy Town, costume for the carnival. I realized how big my kids were getting when they decorated their pumpkins all by themselves(although they did wish dad was there to help) and wanted to make up their own costumes and did their own makeup. I think they will think twice about the makup next year after they found out how hard it is to scrub off for church the next morning....Jabin wore his rodeo clown costume to the parade and Dallas said she was a gypsy. But after everyone told her she looked like a Zombie she decided to play up the Zombie thing with even more makeup for the carnival and convinced Jabin to do the same... The kids wanted me to dress up so I put Matt's bike gear on. It was so comfortable (except for the riding boots). I even went through the school spook alley with Hadden. To my suprise their was a cardboard box tunnel you had to crawl through. I was laughing trying to get through it with the motorcycle boots on, but was pretty impressed with the spooks. Fun Fun, I am just so glad Halloween is over and I am loving the time change.

I had to laugh because after school on Friday Haddy said "we are trashing the ant costume." Then she proceeded to tell Dallas and Jabin how I always make something weird and put it on her and take pictures. I know she liked the rodeo clown barrel last year though. I better start thinking for next year ;)...
