My sisters and I follow both of your blogs, and we're in talks to all dress up as a family next year: bro-in-laws (bros-in-law?) and adorable niece included. We've thrown out lots of ideas. I think the forerunner is Mystery Men. It sounds like fun; I hope this is one family event we do follow through on!KSLSRockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710226953421681568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-14082991486688517122013-11-05T10:37:08.174-05:002013-11-05T10:37:08.174-05:00I should have sent in my 8-year-old daughter's...I should have sent in my 8-year-old daughter's picture - she was a Ghostbuster!

I think it needs to be a tradition. I picked up some river pebbles at the dollar store and put them in the bowl with the candy. When I passed out the candy to the kids, (they don't get to pick at my house) I'd slip the rock into the bag of the kid who wasn't dressed up. It sounded like candy... I think I gave out three. It would have been four but I was distracted by a luminaria that caught fire. Not burning down my house is SO MUCH more important than tricking teenagers.Ginamonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708004928074429212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-10308164578600199642013-11-04T06:37:09.246-05:002013-11-04T06:37:09.246-05:00So ridiculously cute!

It's a good thing I'm not still working every day). Then he spent the whole night saying "Axew" instead of "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you." It was pretty funny, but I doubt the neighbors got the joke! A lot of his friends were impressed, though, and he was pretty excited (although when I asked him about it, he said it was "good enough." I hand-painted those eyes! It's better than "good enough," mister!). My other son's mage costume was done so fast, my husband didn't know I'd made it yet. :)Murianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-6284718596413996162013-11-03T12:03:56.727-05:002013-11-03T12:03:56.727-05:00These costumes are so fantastic!

We always buy candy just in case, we had lit jack-o-lanterns and decorations...but no visitors as usual. We did find a black kitten hiding and crying under a truck across the street Halloween night, so we saved his life from the pagan ritualistic sacrifices going on and brought him home and named him "Shadow".

My "blue monster" costume started as a store-bought costume and I just kept adding to it. I was afraid that no one would recognize Chaddy's Barf the Mog costume, but everywhere we went that weekend (we went to 4 parties over 2 days) there were people everywhere wanting their picture made with him. We both had the BEST time!
