It's all about the small stuff, so here are the things I don't want to forget about this Halloween -
Karsten - As soon as we started talking about Halloween, he knew he wanted to be a bear. But not a cute bear. A scary bear so he could scare his Dad. He was thrilled when his costume came while I was cursing since I ordered it too small. Since when does my 4 year old wear a size 6-7?! On Halloween, Karsten would not pose for a single picture. I finally had to threaten that he wouldn't be able to go trick or treating unless I got a picture. Grrrr.....
Skyla - She wanted to be an old fashioned teacher which I have no idea what she would d
ress like but I think she just wanted to wear glasses, because apparantly all old-fashioned teachers wore glasses. Luckily I found this beautiful costume on sale at Target and thus she happily becamse a 1774 Colonial girl - just like her American Girl doll. She looked so beautiful!Sierra - I love that this girl can dress up for under $5. Even though her and one of her best friends from California live thousands of miles away, they dressed up together as "crazy old ladies." Sierra's costume was so great that a few of the women in our ward, after seeing Sierra at a primary carnival, copied her idea and they were crazy old ladies for a party. Of course I didn't get a picture. Grrrr...
Which leads me to my next tangent - Halloween pictures. What can be a more picturesque
time than Halloween, right? I can NEVER seem to get good pictures at Halloween. Here are some of the key pictures I missed:Me and David dressed up in our favorite - Princess Leia and Han Solo
Sierra and the other crazy old ladies in our ward
I really wanted a picture of my Karsten bear walking through our trees
Our fun, scary dinner - Halloween Haystacks, boogers on a stick, and eyeball eggs and our fun friends that dared join us.
Here's what I loved:
Checking out the stash as soon as we got home - so much joy at their hard earned candy!Mine and Karsten's ghosts
An extra hour of sleep!
The candy trading - Suckers were the top commodity.
Karsten trying to warm up his pumpkin after it froze outside.
I LOVED having Halloween on a Saturday. I think Halloween needs to be on Saturday every year.

Oh, how I miss you guys! :(
Great costumes! I love your "details".
Cute pics! And, great idea for Halloween to be on Saturday every year. We should submit something to someone to change it to the last Saturday of every October. That way it's always good for the trick-or-treaters! Oh, and for the kids too!
Mindy I may be late, but you do look like Princess Leia, kinda, she is just not as pretty. who is the blond?
