This year we have celebrated Halloween more than most years. Throughout the month of October, we decorated our house, made lots of crafts and treats, watched Halloween movies and had a little party for the kids' friends. Halloween night we went trick-or-treating door-to-door (no trunk-or-treating for our family, the kids have to work for their candy!).
What Natalie really wanted to be this year was a forest ranger, however we didn't have a costume for her so she decided to wear her princess dress-up. Jared made Natalie's day by bringing home some fairy wings on Halloween, she was ecstatic!
Thomas had been talking all month about being a Ninja for Halloween, so when Target had 50% off costumes I got him his Ninja costume that he wore to school. However, on Halloween night he changed his mind and wanted to be Harry Potter. He wore his ninja costume (minus the red tunic) and then had us paint a lightening bolt on his head. Thomas has recently started to be a fan of Harry Potter after reading the first book all by himself (he loves reading!).
Amelia was so excited to wear her clown costume to school she kept saying how all the kids would think she was so funny and laugh.
Little Abigail is somewhat of a Tomboy. She really loves robots, Star Wars, and the color blue. Buzz Lightyear is a good representation of who she is.
We had a lot of fun making monsters this year. Our craft ideas were mostly found on Pinterest (I love Pinterest!).
