Halloween 2012

We started off this years festivities in style.  Last Friday night we went to a costume party at Keith's sister's house.  Keith repeated his Man In The Yellow Hat costume from last year.  Grant was Super Why, thanks to this birthday party he went to in August.  Brett was an adorable turtle just like Grant was when he was a baby.  And I was a hippy/70's sort of person.  I wore my mom's dress that she actually made in high school and wore to her senior dance.  So cool Mom!  With the super long wig, super long eyelashes and cream colored lipgloss I was set.

Here's a better shot of Grant since he's kind of cut off above:

It was way too hard to try to catch our cute little turtle holding still, so here are some action shots:

 Keith got 3rd place in the costume contest.  I'll have you know that he actually made everything about his costume except the tie.  He got the clothes and dyed them himself and spray painted the hat.  So proud of him!  Aren't those other costumes great?  The caveman won and Cruella Deville was the runner up.

On Halloween day Brett was so excited to go trick-or-treating that he was climbing the walls.  Literally.  This goober has been climbing everything lately.  I found him standing on top after he moved the seat over there himself.

Handsome Halloweeners ready to go trick-or treating.  Grant decided at the last minute to be this cute Dalmatian.  He loved having his nose painted black.  My mom made this costume for my sister when she was a little girl.  So glad it's still around and glad we got to use it before we send it to my sister!

I was so excited for our pumpkins this year.  We usually carve them really quick at the last minute, or sometimes not at all.  This year we carved them for Family Home Evening so they were ready to go.  The funny part was that Grant just didn't understand why we put them outside.  He was so concerned about them, and he kept wanting to blow out the candles.  

It was really fun to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood area this year.  We sure walked a lot!  After visiting my parents we went to Keith's parents.  Grant went straight to this fun train table that Grandma Jackson just got.  He couldn't get enough of it.

Little Brett still isn't feeling so well and staying up late last night didn't help.  He was so tired when I went to run errands this morning with my mom.  He fell asleep on the way home and took a really long nap when we got home.  And then Grant got home from school and he was tired too.  I convinced him to take a nap too (which hardly ever happens) and then ran to my bed and took a nap too!  Oh those precious and few naps that I get!  It was great!

Hope you had a fun Halloween to!
