Some people love Halloween so much they start planning what they are going to be for Halloween months in advance! . . . We are not so much one of those people. Halloween is fun, but we are more the type of people who look through their costume box days before Halloween asking the kids what they want to choose to be. We have some great costumes that I have picked up at garage sales. Unfortunately kids actually have an opinion about these things! It worked when they were young . . . but for the last few years Drew has had something specific he wanted to be. At five he was Batman. Last year he wanted to be Percy Jackson. Lamon spent a whole day helping him put that costume together and even made him a lightning bolt. This year Drew wanted to be Harry Potter. The other two little munchkins didn't really care. Hayden did want to be a vampire at first but then went for the cape instead and chose to be Batman. Ada was an M&M along with me. Lamon took the kids out trick or treating for awhile, and then I took them over to the grandparents house to show off their costumes. We went to Grandma Barksdales house first where Holidays are always rockin and the house is always decked out, and then we went to the Macks and decided to do a little trick-or-treating at the "good" houses. We banked! It was a fun night! And the best part of it was . . . knowing that the next morning would officially start off the Christmas "Season!"The day after Halloween Ada informed me that next year she knows what she wants to be. She wants to be "Nail Polish". Am I even the least bit surprised?! I guess we have a year to figure that one out! :)
