Trick or Treat

One of the exciting parts about being a parent sometimes is being able to re-live your childhood through the excitement of your children. For us Halloween was always pretty creative as my Mom would have a big box of assorted parts and pieces of costumes that we got to sort through and try to piece a costume together. This year the kids have a couple of requests, my oldest son isn't quite sure what he's up to, but our daughter will be a witch, Kohl is going to be a pirate or a "cat in the hat", that one seems to be harder to find but we did find one online at halloweenadventures.com, they have every costume you could imagine, and our baby wants to be one thing and one thing only an Optimus Prime (Transformer). We have been doing a lot of searching online at the great Halloween Costume Stores that specialize in costumes for all occasions. Hubby usually has a costume day at work and I will be going back to work next week so we will see if I need a costume for this year. Halloween being on Friday night this year we will hopefully get to start our trick or treating early and get in before it gets too dark as there will probably be a bit more mischief going on around the neighborhood this year. The kids are all bigger this year so I am sure everyone will have a great time treating in their new costumes.

Spooky time

Halloween is coming and the kids have already planned their costumes out for the big night. I figure I will be working but I am going to try and get the weekend off if I can. Our oldest son thinks he is going to be going out with his friends, and will probably be an "army dude" again. Kohl had decided he wants to be "Bumble Bee" from the Transformers, Blake wants to be "Optimus Prime" also a Transformer and Trinity has been planning on being a "witch" since last Halloween so we will see if everything turns out and they get to be what they would like for the big night.

Halloween Is coming

The family is getting excited for Halloween, I am hoping to get the house decorated a bit more than normal this year. Last year at the end of the season we bought some new decorations for the house and I can't wait to use them. We bought an outdoor inflatable Ghost scene that blows up and has a light inside it, I got it up for 1 day last year and it looked fantastic, I can't wait. The other thing we got from Zellers and it was called a Head's up Harry Jr. and it stands about 2' tall and when you press the button it starts to talk and lifts it's head off it's shoulders. This year they have 2 more different Harry's and they look pretty cool too. I think we will make a dollar store run for some household decor to finish up the look.

The costume is here

"I am Optimus Prime" is all I heard out of my son Blake today in a really cool robot voice, this is what he had to say after trying on the costume he has been wanting for the last couple of weeks. My husband called today and said they finally got one at his work and he had it out back for us. We packed up and walked down to try it on for size and it fit great and what a wonderful robot voice he had. I can't wait for Halloween night now.

Mike Myers has nothing on My Halloween Kids

Halloween is a favorite time of year for so many people all around the world, it's an opportunity for everyone, kids can go to fun party's with all their friends, trick or treat around the neighborhood or at selected community events. They can dress up in all kinds of cute little monster, comic character or ghosts and goblins. Halloween isn't just for kids though, adults can get in on the fun and decorate their homes, front yards and just about anywhere their imaginations will take them. That's really the great thing about Halloween there's no limits, a chance to shed inhabit ions and just worry about having fun. It's all about the show for Halloween, no pressure of gifts like with Christmas, and there isn't as much of a hectic feel. It it becoming more and more popular to have adult parties, a chance to meet with your friends, co-workers whatever and just let loose for a night of fun, there are generally contest for costumes, maybe you want to jaw drop everyone and hit them up with a sexy Halloween costume, show everyone a different side of your personality that they might not know exists. It is becoming more and more popular to shop on-line for everything these days and that is no different when it comes to Halloween time, you can shop for costumes on-line and have them shipped direct to your home.

My little fellas are loving going through all the costumes on line, it's so much easier because trying to shop with 4 young children is pretty hard sometimes especially for Halloween costumes because it takes time and there is so much excitement involved. My youngest little fellow fell in love with the Curious George Costume and my other son is a huge Cat in the Hat fan and thinks he really needs on of these suits he has outgrown his last cat in the hat suit he has used the last couple of years so maybe this year he will get his new one.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Well here I am sitting at the computer at 2:00am in the morning. I know I should be in bed but I can't sleep so I guess I may as well be sitting here. It is officially Halloween and my little ghost and goblins are tucked in bed fast asleep with a big day ahead of them and it's going to be a cold Halloween night. How do you go about keeping your kids dressed warm without covering up their costumes....I am going to find myself in a mess when it comes to Trinity's costume, there is nothing I can really do to make it warmer with covering it up. I won't be surprised if I'm out shopping trying to find her a warmer costume.
