It's past Halloween now, but I'm just getting to posting our pictures now. This was the very first year that we didn't have all of our boys going as complementing costumes, it was kind of a bummer to me, but we did come up with some awesome ideas, just nothing 9 year old and a 6 year old boys would agree too!! LOL I thought it was be awesome for them to go as a Rock, Paper, Scissors Championshiop, since that was what they were always so excited about with camp, but alas, noone wanted to be the ROCK! Hahaha!!! Todd's fav idea was for the three boys to go as "Loose Change" and make each one a quarter, dime and a nickel. Then his theory was that we'd make a statement when someone asked us where the penny was, we'd just say we decided to cancel the Canadian penny! hehe!!! However, I didn't really want to make another statement with our costumes this year and more importantly didn't want to go as a PIGgy Bank when I'm working so hard at dieting!!! LOLOLOL!!!!
Anyway, the boys' picked out their own costumes again this year and they decided to go as iPods. The costumes turned out great and I sure wish I would have video taped it to show you, because we even hooked up our two little shuffle ipods to speakers and attached them to the costume so it was playing music the whole night. That part was amazing, they were so cute! Then what to do with little Luke....Todd suggested he could go as the Shuffle, but I wasn't so sure. :-) We ended up going with him in a little frog suit, with a crown on his head and a sign on his chest that said "Prince Charming - Kisses 25 cents"! He was too cute!!! He loved his costume so much, when I put it on him, he just began to strut his stuff around the culdesac....too cute! The only part he hated was the actual Kissing Booth I made for him to stand in (and us to hold over him), he must have thought he'd loose his mobility or something, it was so funny! He'd scream with it on and laugh hysterically when he was free in his frog suit....so we adjusted the costume and moved on without the booth!!! Whatever works when you're 1!!!
The boys had a great time, it was a little weird trick-or-treating in the daylight to do our street, but we had to start by 5:30 in order to get to Baby Nick's house and then over to Aunt Vicky and Uncle Kevin's. That's where we have our Trick-or-treating party each year. It was fun to see Bailey in his little Pumpkin costume. If Vicky emails one to me, I'll post it here too. He was very cute and the boys absolutely love to play with him....they treat him like he really is their real baby cousin! LOL
So here are a couple of pictures, but I am working on putting a link on here to all of our pics, some of them just cracked me up, especially Luke's face when he first discovers that Halloween and putting this silly costume on meant getting candy dropped into his bucket!! I wished I could have frozen that look on his face into my memory forever! He was too cute!
I'm hoping that this link works so that you can click on it to see a short slideshow of the rest of our Halloween night!
I absolutely had to show you what my sister dressed up as this year! It totally cracked me up....I'm so glad she did it, cause it was hysterical. Although she wouldn't wear the sign out trick-or-treating because she was afraid of offending someone! Great idea Brooke!
So they went as a Devil, and Angel and God! I was proud of that theme costume idea! Good job Brooke!
