Halloween





You know I am starting to care less and less what my kids are for Halloween. Usually I go all out, pick their costumes months before the big day, and get everything prepared. This year was So different I pretty much let them be whatever they wanted and I let them find most of it in their own closets (although I did buy a few things). They all thought it was the greatest thing and I had no complaints. The only one with a problem was Preston, his original costume was a dragon which was just WAY too hot for the unexpected warm weather we had. So at his preschool Halloween party we improvised and I grabbed a spider man dress-up costume which he gladly wore that day. . . .then comes Halloween night and he tells me (while we are getting ready in our costumes)that he changes his mind and he wants to be a skeleton like Dallin. So we scrambled up his costume the best we could in the five minutes we had, and he ended up being the happiest little boy ever! So from now on I am saving my time and my money! They love it that way anyway.

Oh what cuties! Love the outfits. We were out of town for a week and during Halloween so Ashtyn didn't dress up this year. I know, terrible parents we are. There's always next year. I'll be posting some pictures on our blog in the next couple of days.

I totally agree! They love Halloween so much better when they can be creative and come up with it on their own. We never bought costumes as kids, we always used bed sheets, clips or whatever to construct our costumes and they were always great! The kids look great, especially Alise!!
