Almost Halloween!

You know, as a kid, I never liked Halloween. In fact, I dreaded it every year, mainly because my mom dreaded it. She hated getting 5 kids outfitted for Halloween. I distinctly remember being forced to be a pirate when I was a cute little 7 year old GIRL. But now that I'm a mother, I enjoy it. I love getting cute costumes for my boys and taking them around trick-or-treating. My two oldest boys are really into Star Wars, so this year Brandon is going as Anakin Skywalker. Whenever anyone new asks him what his name is, he tells them it's Anakin. Nathan is going as Yoda. I can't wait to paint his face green. Ian will probably go as Elmo, even though I found an adorable baby Chewbacca costume. It was $35! I can't see spending that much dough on something he'll only wear once. He looks cute in everything, though. I will be going as a mommy. I still hate dressing up. Thanks, Mom!
