Halloween

This Halloween brought a lot of excitement to Brooklyn. She is at that magical age when everything seems so fun and exciting. She gets excited over the smallest of things. She was so excited to go and pick out a costume. She had wanted to be Aerial, which would have been perfect with her beautiful red hair. When we got to the store they were all out of Aerial costumes. Her next pick was Snow White. On Friday before Halloween she had a party at school. Even though she had been wearing her Snow White costume for a month she was still very excited to put the whole thing together. This is her as Snow White. She did not want to have her picture taken. Right before I took Brooklyn to school my Mom came to visit and go with us. Brooklyn had a great time at her party. The next day was Halloween. My Mom had brought Brooklyn a couple of costumes and dress ups. One of the costumes was this cheer leading outfit. Brooklyn loved it. This is no doing of my own, I will have you know. The only reason she liked the costume was because her little friend Chloe has one. I don't mind that she loves girly things though. hee hee. So Halloween day we went to watch Devan play basketball and Brooklyn was a cheerleader.

As we got ready to go trick or treating she changed her mind yet again. Although I begged her to just stay in her cheer leading outfit she changed into her fairy princess outfit. Oh, to be four again! How fun. We had a wonderful Halloween. The weather was actually perfect, just two days before we had two inches of snow on the ground and on Halloween day it was warm and sunny. We had a ward trunk or treat and a yummy dinner with family. It was very nice.

My Boys really did not get too into Halloween this year. This really surprised me. I can't believe they are growing out of it so soon. Devan only dressed up because they were supposed to for a school trip. He decided to dawn his cheerleader costume again. Of course he looked great. And Davis, who usually likes to do what Devan is doing, was not about to be a cheerleader. So he was Count Dracula once again. He painted his hair black, but refused to wear any makeup. Sammy was not so into costumes when I tried them on him. He hated them. So I decided he would be a perfect Baseball player. He was warm and comfortable in his baseball pajamas and the hat made the costume. I know, I know I should have dressed up a little more. It's just that I am such a mean witch all of the time I thought I would go as myself.
