~Halloween 2012~

I have a confession to make.  I was a total party pooper this year for Halloween.  My kids were so excited to decorate the house and pull out all the Halloween books but I just wasn't that into it this year.  For starters, it seemed like the month went on forever.  Then there was the fact that none of the kids wanted to join in on some theme.  Add on that I was tired, pregnant, and not likely to dress up since I could barely fit in my own clothes let alone a costume.  All together I just wasn't all the pumped but the kids still were. 

 I let everyone just pick whatever they wanted out of our dress up box and they thought it was awesome.  Most of our costumes I have bought at after holiday sale in the past for a few bucks a piece so I didn't have to spend any money at all this year.  We had two trunk or treats, Beggars Night, School parties and halloween birthday parties this year.  By the time Halloween actually rolled around I was done and ready to put away the costume box for a few weeks.  I didn't take hardly any pictures and the few I did weren't the best quality, but they will just have to do.

 Cordy, our french mustached ladybug.  

Don't ask.  Nick gave her a mustache, she loved it and that was that. 

 Elyssa, our Snow White.

She was also a southern belle for a number of events though I never got a picture.

Alec, our Optimus Prime Transformer.

He refused to wear the mask most of the time.

I must say for being a party pooper this year, I have great plansfor next year.  The kids and I have already started talking about being a Star Wars family. Cordy wants to be Chewy, Alec can be Luke Skywalker, Elyssa can be Princess Laya, and new baby can be Yoda!  Nick would make an excellent C3PO but will likely be Darth Vader.  Maybe I will be a storm trooper.  We shall see. :-)
