Well I'm finally getting arounding to posting about Halloween and my realization that my kids are growing up quickly, becoming so independent and I'm losing control. Actually they have always had their own ideas but up until now I could sway them my way. It's nothing as serious as I'm making it sound...just Halloween costumes. They saw what they wanted and that was that. The last few years I've been able to "help" them decide...and they co-ordinated and looked oh-so-adorable. Three years ago they were a devil and an angel, two years ago Mickey and Minnie Mouse and last year Jesse was a fireman and Emily was the black cat that as he put it "I will save from the tree"! (It sounded more like "twee" then). This year Jesse was Tigger and Emily was a fairy...not exactly what I had in mind but they were certainly cute anyway!
They had a great time trick-or-treating. My husband took them to some friends of ours so the kids could all trick-or-treat together. It was the dads turn to go with them this year so I didn't bother going along. That's the first year we didn't all go together and I really missed seeing them go door to door, especially with Jesse at his age, he was so excited (even though most of the candy was chocolate and he doesn't even like it).
He apparently helped hand out candy too...to all the "customers" as he called them. I asked him what customers he was talking about, he gave me the "duh" look and said "the customers that came to the door for candy". I cracked up!!




Jesse wasn't too crazy about the pumpkin "guts"!


Our very scaaarrryyy pumpkins!
