I love Halloween! I love seeing my kids get so excited about who they will be, and getting candy that they won't eat (except for Bailey :)) and running from house to house with their friends. We had a great time this year. After four class parties on Thursday and Friday, I was pretty exhausted, but it was great! Bailey had planned on being Snow White and Thursday before her party at pre-school decided she wanted to be Cinderella. So instead of wearing the perfect Snow White costume that has been hanging in the closet for two years since Sydni wore it, we quickly dug through the wrinkled dress-ups to find a Cinderella dress. She was happy and I had to remind myself, that it isn't all about the cute pictures, although she looked beautiful! Then Friday morning I was looking through all my Halloween stuff and found a Care Bear costume that Sydni wore a few years ago, and she decided that's what she wanted to be. Oh you gotta love Bailey! That's the beauty of having four kids, we have lots of costumes! I let the kids decide what Jack would be. I had a red chili pepper costume that I bought for him, but when I tried it on, it didn't fit! It said 0-9 month, but being that he weighs 20 pounds, I guess it was just too little! So they decided between a fire-fighter and the Hunny Pot. It was unaminous that he go as the Hunny Pot. Nicholas' reasoning that because it is his first Halloween, he should be something "cute." He could always be a fireman, he couldn't always be a Hunny Pot. Pretty smart! I dressed him also as a spider for Bailey's first pre-school party and then as a lion, during Halloween Day. (If you look closely you can see his little teeth popping out. It was way more comfy than the Hunny Pot all day. Although because it was in the mid-70's that day I was afraid he was roasting. He survived. We bought Nicholas' costume as soon as they were in the stores, because he knew he wanted to be Indiana Jones, and I found Sydni's dress at TJ Maxx and fell in love with it and hoped she would love it. She absolutely did and felt very regal walking around in velvet with her hoop skirt. She told everyone she was Queen Elizabeth, and stopped them dead in their tracks. She loooked so beautiful! So much fun!

Your kids looked so cute for Halloween. I love the Hunny Pot, Jack looks so cute and warm in it. Sydni looks so beautiful, she is really growing up. Bailey looks like a load of fun and Nicholas looks so handsome as Indiana Jones. Fun times!
Those are great costumes. We had that same lion costume for Spencer when he was a baby.
