HALLOWEEN was a BLAST this year!! One of my most favorites of all!! I really don't feel like typing anything much so here are a bunch-o-picts for your viewing enjoyment.
My favorite costume to date!! A M A Z I N G!! At least that is how I felt in this Medusa costume! Thanks to my lovely cousin Amanda for spending HOURS on my hair to make this costume what it is! p.s. I won the prize for best costume at the YM/YW combined activity... yeah... that felt awesome!!
The hours we spent doing my Medusa hair reminded me of a cosutme I wore to another YW/YM activity LONG AGO! Bride of Frankenstein!!! Yeah.... that is my real hair... yeah it took FOREVER to get this out!!!
Though Medusa was an awesome costume it wasn't really an easy one to duplicate so I had a second costume for Halloween. Since I had a dog for Halloween this year (more on that later) I HAD to be Dorothy!!! this costume is thanks to DI and creative sewing by my good friend Angie!! This is my whole Trick or Treating Posse!!!!
My adorable kids!! AWWW!!!!
Amalyssa would want you all to know that she created her ENTIRE costume by herself this year! She raided her closet and dress ups and came up with this by herself!! (Then she tried to convince me that I should buy her a toy since she saved me all the money of buying a costume! lol)
Braden really wanted to be a dog. He was ecstatic when we found this bulldog costume!
Our Doggie friend!!! This is my mother in laws dog Daisy. Daisy was staying with us over the week of Halloween while Becky was on a cruise. We had so much fun with her! She is a great little dog! Someday I may want one just like her! For now though a week visit was just perfect! She adored going trick or treating with us and several people wanted to give her a treat when we came by!

And lastly some reminiscing. These are some costumes of yester year that I particularly remember.
Crayons. Oh yeah... cutest ones in the box!! We were these for a few years, but I loved them and remember them fondly! I am the yellow and my cutie sis is the red.
Butterfly. I remember how totally much I loved the wings!!!
And last but not least -Big Red - This was another AWESOME costume.... except for the fact that I couldn't sit down ALL DAY at school and climbing steps to trick or treat was an art that I had to master. Not sure why I even wanted to be this but I remember being so excited about my 'great idea' for a costume and my mom was up to the challenge!! THANKS MOM!!!! Do I have a cat in my pumpkin???? I think I do! lol.... I don't remember that!
Well there you have it, Halloween of past and present! In my future ... PEACOCK PRINCESS!! Oh yeah... I can't wait till next year!!!
I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!!!
As a last little side note since I am hear blogging. Braden said to me the other day, "Mom, you need to get me a punching bag so I can practice punching for when I join the Army!."
Yeah.... ARMY!?? Mom was NOT ready for that little buddy! Let's wait a few years before we make that decision ok!! ;)
