Halloween

First of all, I like Halloween. I think it is a fun little holiday. I want to emphasize the "like" part.I definitely am not at the LOVE stage. Although I do love when it is over. I am an old school girl- you know, the "lets look through the dress up box to see what we will be this year" kind of kid. Growing up, we never spent any money on costumes, except for maybe some spray on hair color, but that was it. And we pretty much came up with our costumes on our own a few weeks before the big day. So I kind of have a hard time buying costumes. I get a much bigger thrill out of being creative and making/sewing/hot gluing the costumes. (I admit, a few times making a costume has cost more than just buying the stupid thing would have but, well..hindsite.) Plus, Jason has come up with some creative and hard to find characters over the years (sonic the hedgehog and the silver phantom are just two examples). Anyway, This year Jason was Harry Potter. Pretty simple and straight forward except sooooo three years ago and a little hard to find. But doesn't he make a great Harry Potter?Kayla and I had a lot of fun putting together this cute gypsy costume. She wanted to be a witch at first, but then we found this great skirt and pulled a few more things together and bibbity bobboty boo... a beautiful gypsy queen.

Aaron will not go to anyone else, so I figured if he was going to be in my arms all night we might as well work with it. He was the parrot and I was a pirate. I love the tail feathers. Adorable.
