Halloween

Kaitlyn had our fun girls day at Gardiner Village with my nieces, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law.  We went to Breakfast with a Witch and wandered around doing the scavenger hunt on a beautiful fall morning.  Skyler ended up tagging along since the older boys in the family were all at the deer hunt.  I forgot the stroller and that kid is finally really starting to grow!  I thought my arms might fall off by the time we were done!

Skyler quickly decided Halloween is not his favorite holiday.  I went to help with Kaitlyn's class party and he was clinging to me the whole time because he wasn't sure about all the costumes the kids were wearing.  One of the other moms had fake eyelashes on and they seemed to terrify him!  Jason has always said the minions in Despicable Me remind him of Skyler so that's what I got him for his costume.  He was adorable!

I thought it would be cute to get a Gru costume for Jason to go along with it but what I didn't anticipate was Skyler being terrified of the mask!  Here's what happened when Jason put it on.

He didn't even have it on long enough to get the shape right from being all folded up in the package.  He didn't look much like Gru without the mask but Skyler wasn't having anything to do with him with it on.  Kaitlyn was Merida and I have to say that her personality fit the costume well!

 I tried and tried to convince my boys that the point of a Halloween costume was to dress up as someone or at least something.  But after being told a hundred times that this is what everyone is dressing up as for Halloween, I bought the Morphsuits for them.

Andrew was too old to hang out with his Dad so he went over to a friend's house and came home with a big bag of candy.  The rest of the kids took off from our house with Jason.

I didn't think Skyler would last long because as they headed out I walked outside and handed each of the kids glow sticks which ended up being another thing that, strangely enough, Skyler was terrified of!  But it was over an hour later before they all came back happy with bags full of candy.
