Halloween this year wasn't celebrated as usual. We didn't have our Annual Halloween Party, and we really didn't go trick or treating either (thanks to our lovely down pour weather.) Instead, we visited a couple families homes and then went to the store and bought licorice and doughnuts and headed back home to watch classic Halloween movies. The movie we watched was the Creature from the Black Lagoon. The kids loved it, even though it was in black and white. Every time they saw the 'creature' they would let out fun shrieks, it was really funny.
On a side note, I wasn't even sure I would be able to get Brayden to dress up this year. He thinks he's too old. But after much coaxing I was able to talk him into it. He decided to go as a Skateboarder. While that doesn't sound too interesting, it actually was a lot of fun getting this perfect costume together.
We headed to the DI to find some 'skinny' jeans for him. We found some, however, they were girls skinny jeans, but oh so perfect! Then we went to Home Depot to buy some chain. His costume was perfect. (See pictures below.)
Even though we didn't do the regular 'Halloween' festivities, the kids still had fun.
Chloe had a Halloween party Wednesday before Halloween with her preschool class. She had so much fun. I was able to come the last hour of her class and take pictures. I loved watching her interact with the other kids and loved seeing her so involved in her classroom activities.
Then Thursday before Halloween Brayden and Madison had their Halloween Costume Parade, followed by the 5th and 6th graders dancing to Thriller. Now that was fun!
I was even able to get some Halloween pictures of the kids... although Sadie wouldn't cooperate in her Chick costume. Oh well.
Chloe the Kitty Witch.
Madison a Vampire.
And then Brayden, a Skateboarder.
