Halloween!!

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. Owen was finally big enough to keep up with his cousins and not tire out so quickly. Maya was particularly excited as she had been planning her costume since June. She is a planner, just like her Momma!

Owen went as a great white shark. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a great white shark costume in a size 3? I finally did find one online and it cost me a goodly sum - but he wore it all day long and loved it.


Maya went as Fiona from Shrek. The kid has such an eye for detail as you can see from the pose! She was very upset because the dress I bought for her was not purple like the one is Shrek the Third. Finally, she relented and was satisfied though she let me know that Fiona wears a purple dress too!


After getting their bucket full of candy, it was time to get started home. Their buckets full of candy are sitting in the dining room as I type - hardly touched. For my kids, it is all about the getting of the candy rather than the snarfing and hoarding of the candy - for which I am eternally grateful!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments! It was really a fun night and I enjoyed watching all of the kids get really into things.

Absolutely adorable! Especially how Maya had her scary Ogre face going on! Been practicing that since June, I suppose?! Glad they can show some restraint with the candy (although it is probably all gone by now!).

Practicing since she saw Shrek the Third, so June sounds about right!

The kid is stressing because we have no plans for her birthday yet - which is at the end of February! LOL!!

Good Lord, Maya. Six months isn't "in advance" enough for you? Ha!
