happy halloween

i started out this halloween like any other day

EXCEPT

i thought i might add a little flair to my outfit

well ...

within 30 minutes i changed paths

decided it would be fun to walk into the office

and starbucks

in full costume

i could always just take it off, right?!

it was so much fun.

i got a lot of looks

AND

a lot of smiles

which made it totally worth it!

before leaving home

our neighbor

who had lent me the costumes

told me i should take tigger and try to get someone to wear it

WELL ...

the person i found

OUR PRINCIPAL

didn't quite fit in the tigger costume -

so we switched

he did the kindergarten parade dressed as pooh

and the kids LOVED it!!

i spent the entire morning as tigger

and then decided to dress down a bit for the afternoon

not quite sure why no one would make eye contact with me at target ;)

fast forward to our night ...

it isn't often that halloween is on a friday

so the boys were SUPER excited

drew put together his own costume this year

and good will pulled through for us yet again

alex also created his costume -

he was a 'ninja'

and does not care about the difference between black and navy ;)

and ben was a blue basketball playing morph

alex decided to stick around the neighborhood

and trick or treat with jack and oliver

drew went with ryan and luke

cute theme, huh?!

and ben went with sam and jack

stacey and i stuck home and handed out candy for a bit

and found a PERFECT way to stay warm

 

even though it was only 40 degrees i felt perfect

walking with alex once it got dark

each of the boys got around 5 lbs of candy

and my ONLY complaint

is they didn't bring home ONE heath bar

seriously.
