Halloween Wrap-Up

I thought I'd better get a Halloween post up before Thanksgiving rolls around!  Sorry about being MIA last month.  I honestly don't know where the time has gone.  I have a couple of posts in the works (in my head anyway) so hopefully you'll see more of me here soon.

Our costumes came together easily this year.  Because of his Star Wars obsession and that of anything "bad guy" related, Ari chose to be Darth Vader.  I'm not sure how exactly it came about, but Keira then wanted to be R2D2.  Since Asher's still a baby and I get to pick what his costume is, I went with Yoda to keep with the theme.  We were invited to a party this year so Keenan and I joined in the fun as Han Solo and Princess Leia.  I had planned to make homemade versions of all our costumes, but as luck would have it, I found Ari's for $12 at WalMart!  I spent anywhere from $5-10 on the others and mine cost $0! 

Besides the party, the kids wore their costumes to storytime once and the YMCA on Halloween day.  Then, of course, there was trick-or-treating.  Our first stop was to the retirement home where our next-door neighbor now calls home.  This was his first Halloween there and we didn't want him to miss seeing the kids dressed up.  After that, we grabbed a quick dinner and Keenan took Ari and Keira up and down the street.  Asher and I held down the fort and handed out candy.  I was surprised how many kids came by considering it was a school night!  Must have been the beautiful weather.

Because of all our running around, I didn't get many pictures on Halloween night.  Asher was a good sport, though.

We hope you all had a happy Halloween and have come down from your sugar highs!
