Another night of kids dressing up and running through the streets getting treats from our friends and neighbors. As far as holidays go, Halloween is not my favorite. I know lots of people love it, but I've hated being scared and everything that goes along with that since I was a kid - my Dad and older sister will back me up on that one! But, since this is a holiday that is about the kids I let them lead the way & I'll follow along. T-man was so excited this year it was really fun to feel his enthuasiasm. As he was counting down the days, trying out his cape, experimenting with the face make-up, and trying on his vampire teeth, he told me that he was more excited about Halloween than learning to read, which at the moment is a huge deal for him! I had to smile when we were asking Ian what he was going to be for Halloween and he said he thought he'd be a vampire like Truman! It was so cute to see them together comparing teeth and deciding whether or not to use the fake blood. The girls were very cute too! Bea decided she wanted to be a chef, which wasn't too much of a surpise. Maddie saw a costume of a "not-so-scary-scarecrow" and thought she'd like to be something like that. Once we got her in her costume, she looked so cute we thought she really should be a scarecrow princess! That is the fun part of the night for me - seeing how much fun the kids have dressing up.
