Faith.Love.Family: Halloween

What to be on Halloween is always the big decision. As ideas were beginning to spark the kids originally wanted us to dress up as the Fab 5 from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Basically it would have been daddy as Donald, mommy as Daisy, Colby wanted to be Goofy, Dylan would be Mickey, Abby as Minnie and the baby would be Pluto (at the time Blake was not born yet). As fun as last year was being the Toy Story gang I wasn't too sure I would be up for this soon after the baby was born. Thankfully time passed and they changed their mind. Now Colby wants to be a ghost and Dylan wants to be a clown (this kid could go as himself since he is already such a clown). Both of them wanted Abby to be a princess but I decided to wait on that since she isn't into the whole princess thing yet. I am glad we waited for her costume because we found the perfect one for her....A Bee!! That has become her favorite word...A Bee A Bee!! Anytime she gets hurt she says "a bee". Blake was a pumpkin and that was because I already had pumpkin PJ's from when Dylan or Abby were born.

In the past our kids have been too young to get the concept of going door to door for candy. So we would do a few houses, see friends in the neighborhood and then come home to hang in the driveway to hand out candy. This year all three didn't want to stop. Colby was having fun with Jackson, Dylan was excited to tell us every piece he got, and Abby walked with Katie or wanted to be in the wagon so she could get a head start on the chocolate (wonder who she takes after??). Their pumpkins were full to the top.

We added to our fun and chaotic family by having the O'Sullivans over to trick or treat. They joined us last year too. I hope this is a tradition that wont end!!
