Halloween {2011}

Well, I have gotten absolutely nothing done this whole week.  I feel like sleeping until the rest of the week (and weekend) is over and starting fresh next week.  But I would want to wake up to everything I didn’t get done magically done for me. That’s my fairytale.   Am I the only one who had a week like this?  I have decided that if I have an unproductive Monday (unproductive meaning: not my normal routine) then I might as well kiss the rest of my week goodbye. 

At least I can blame it all on Halloween!  I guess it was worth it. :)

I took the kids out on Sunday night for some unrushed costume photos.  This helped to make Halloween not quite as crazy.  I could relax knowing I got some decent pictures already and whatever else I snapped was just a bonus.

Kaylee was a nerd.  A very cute nerd, I might add. 

It was funny that her glasses matched the ones on her shirt exactly.  Not planned at all! 

Next we have Mr. Jake.  The serious and mean looking mafia gangster. 

Then the fighter Drew.  Accompanied with a bloody nose and black eye.

And lastly,  our sweet (hahaha) Strawberry Shortcake, Ady.

Who couldn’t stop thinking about the candy left in her bag from trunk or treating.

  

Here are some snapshots from Halloween night. 

We were getting ready to go trick or treating with the Dickamore’s. 

Ady was still thinking about that candy.

My BOO shirt was as festive as I got that night.

I think photos of the kids trick or treating are so much fun!  There is such a whimsical feeling when you look at them.  I had plans, but failed miserably.  This is the only one I got.  Next year people.

Casey stayed at home to pass out candy while we went out for a little while.  When we got home from the Dickamore’s he took the kids and I stayed home to pass out the candy.  He loves taking them trick or treating. 

I swear, the second they made it to the family room their bags got dumped.  Time to sort!

     

As a child, sorting was always one of my favorite things after trick or treating.  It falls under the organizing category…no wonder.

Jake enjoyed telling jokes as he ate his Laffy Taffy’s.

This apple looked a little out of place among all of the other crap candy.  At one of the houses they had the choice to pick a piece of fruit or candy. 

Do you notice anything about the picture below?

Jake barricaded his candy area.  This had me laughing so hard.  Silly boy.  NO ONE was going to mess with his stash.  We guard things with our life around this house!
