Halloween 2011

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and this year didn't disappoint. It is always so fun to see how thrilled my children are with their costumes, trick-or-treating, and the candy smorgasbord that follows.

Creed as a cute little frog

Karen as Dorothy (don't make the terrible mistake of calling her Alice in Wonderland)

Kailani a a bright clown

Kyle as a ranger

Cameron had a hard time deciding if he wanted to go trick-or-treating or not. At the last minute, he decided to dress up like a dementor, but just to take Creed around, not to trick or treat. He looked really good, but I didn't get a picture.

Another thing I wish I would have gotten a picture of was me in my non-costume. I dressed up as a witch earlier in the day (and looked pretty darn good if I do say so)! However, because it was so cold, I took off my costume, and wore my regular clothes to trunk-or-treat. I had on my flower ear muff to keep my ears warm. It looks like this:

And, I happened to be wearing my new glasses that look like this:

I don't know if it is because the glasses are a little crazy, or if it was simply the combination of the headband and glasses, but I was repeatedly asked what I was dressed up as.  I would smile and say, "Just me." It was funny at first... but in the end, I was becoming rather self-conscious. In fact, as we were leaving, a friend of mine said, "Hello" to which I quickly blurted out, "This isn't a costume."
