Happy Halloween!!

This year for Halloween we had some very fun and interesting costumes at our house. Taylor and a few of his friends decided, quite some time ago, to dress up as cheerleaders. So we pulled out my old box of cheer uniforms and Taylor and one of his friends picked the ones that they wanted to wear. He definitely didn't look enough like a cheerleader with his normal hair, so we bought a wig and added some makeup. Although it was a pretty lame wig, he kind of looked like a girl, until you looked at him too close. Even with all of those girly things, he couldn't hide that he is a boy. He and his friends had lots of fun though.

Brenden looked and looked for a fun costume for him and finally ended up deciding to be a ghost. He wasn't a scary ghost, just a fun ghost. He had a mask, which he couldn't wear to school, so we painted his face white. It turned out pretty well.
After we bought Kate's pirate costume, Josie decided that she wanted to be a pirate, too. McKenna was a pirate a few years ago so we borrowed their costume and she turned into a very cute pirate. This picture was taken at the school during the costume parade.


Here is Taylor in the parade as well.

Since I was the one taking the pictures you cannot see that I actually dressed up for Halloween. Those of you who know me know that I really do not like Halloween very well and NEVER dress up. This year, since I am working at the school and helped in Brenden's class party, I decided to dress up. I borrowed some stuff from my great neighbor, Mindi, and became a witch for the day (some would say that isn't too much of a stretch for me, haha). I bought a long black wig, which drove me nuts the entire day, and put together a witch costume. It was pretty fun and I am glad that I did it. Maybe I will even do it again next year. I regret now that I didn't get a picture of myself in the costume.
Side note: I do not know what is up with my camera. I took a ton of pictures and most of them didn't turn out. It is making me so mad, because the pictures I took were pretty cute. I need to figure out what the heck is wrong with the dumb thing!

i would agree - the witch costume really wasn't much of a stretch. totally kidding. i remember when i went to the parade with you last year. i can't believe it has been one year. crazy! i liked your comment on my blog. it ryhmed (sp?) a bit. i think we really should put you in charge of creating a poem for the invites.

Taylor makes one hot cheerleader. He looks so funny in his costume.

It was great to hear from you. You and Steve also look the same. I can't believe you have four kids and Taylor is 12. Where does the time go. Your kids are beautiful. Keep in touch. - Tammy
