Halloween 2016

Costumes this year were a bit of a cluster.  First Liam came home from shopping with grandma with a costume from the video game Halo.  We don’t even have the game Halo nor would we allow him to play it.  I have no idea who the costume it.  But he was excited.  Then Skyler comes home with this god awful mask and tells me that she is going to be a bloody panda bear…..   What???  I had to hide the mask until Halloween because it was seriously freaking me out every time I looked at it.  

Did I mention that I went to the kids’ school to watch their Halloween parade and as everyone was getting dressed and ready, Skyler and I read the directions that said “no scary masks!”  I ran to my car to recover my minions costume that I had brought for myself just in case the kids guilted me in to dressing up and Skyler wore that instead!

Every time I asked Presley what she wanted to be, she came up with something different so we waited until the very end and then she settled on a lion.  She spent all of Halloween correcting people when they would call her cute.  She was very upset.  “I am NOT CUTE!!!  I am SCARY!!” 

Kids trick or treated around the neighborhood as usual and had a great time.  We did our best to decorate the house as scary as possible but competing with the neighbors can be hard!
