Happy Halloween 2011

We ate too much candy, stayed up too late & had a blast!!
Hope you had lots of fun too :)

Hauntingly Festive

Okay, so there's not much haunting around here (unless you count the spooktacular tantrums).

Our front yard decorations

Very, very scary first thing in the morning



We love our pj's!



End of the day: One more photo before bedtime

Trick or Treat!

Trying to steal the candy!

Liam-Woody, Michael-Buzz, Chloe-bumblebee



Loving her first Halloween!! I saved Chloe's costume for last because it was the warmest. When Chloe saw the boys getting dressed, she was walking around making little noises- she does not like to be left out.

 

Still can't get them all to look simultaneously but at least all are seated!

On the hunt for CANDY!

Quick stop for a pic with Daddy :)

I love this pic, except that I was mid-blink...sigh...I love the bumblebee's ruby slippers!



Chloe came home early due to being a bit chilly- she gave out candy with Grammy & Poppy :)



Back inside enjoying some yummy treats!

Chloe is ready for bed- she just wanted to bring Liam's hat
(made for a 3/4 year old, it fits her little melon perfectly).

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Scary!!!

Well, yes, I know these aren't THAT scary but would you have hurried to read this post if I called it "Matching PJ's"? 



Boy or Girl- everybody needs their Mummy sometimes...

Chloe isn't into posing with her brothers these days...sigh...



Big Brothers Unite!



So, I sort of figured out some of the photo download thing but it's still a work in progress.

Our Trick or Treat isn't until Sunday (which is apparently the exception rather than the rule in these parts!)

Costume pics to come!

Hope everyone has a fun-filled, safe Halloween weekend!

A Glimpse Back

Since this year's Halloween pics were a bit lacking, I thought I would share our photos from Halloween 2007. Also, I don't have much time to write a longer post because Michael continues to refuse to nap and tries to be as loud as he possibly can. So I have two boys wide awake upstairs...I am really hoping that turning the clocks back will mysteriously resolve Michael's sleep issues.

Enjoy some pics- and appreciate how much cuter that puppy costume can be!

I Need A "Do Over"

Sad but true, Halloween 2008 did not go exactly as planned....

Both kids were crabby, neither wanted to dress in their costume and I didn't even get good pics! Oh, and Mike was working. Mind you, I did have help from multiple grandparents but it still was a bit of a blur.

I am not a Halloween fanatic but it is usually a fun time and I am bummed it didn't go a bit better. BUT, the boys did have fun trick or treating. Even Liam was trying to say "Trick or Treat" and both were pretty polite with saying thank you. I wish I had THAT on video...sigh...

Since Mike was at work anyway, I might just try to get the boys into their costumes tomorrow- just so he can see them and I can MAYBE get a good photo for the memory books.

At any rate, along with yummy candy, here is what we got:

READY TO GET SOME TREATS-Michael (Elmo) and Liam (Puppy without puppy top and cute little nose colored in with a black eyeliner pencil)






Liam and Poppy (my dad)

Michael and Mom-Mom (Mike's mom)

Good Stuff:

*God Bless Mom-Mom, Grammy and Poppy. Without them, it would have been a complete disaster instead of just a manageable tantrum central

*Michael and Liam enjoyed things once we got outside and started the official trick or treating

The text of this post is weird and I can't figure out how to fix it- this has not been a very smooth day!!
