Halloween Replay

So, I had to make my kids dress up today in their costumes so I could take pictures. Brandon and I were in Florida over the weekend, so I missed out on all the festivities!! But I had to have pictures for our posterity, right?

Sterling had to be Batman this year. Apparently Batman was a hot costume, so he had many others to help him conquer evil.

Jonah got the hand-me-down costume I made for Sterling five years ago. Wow, that's crazy to think about!! But he sure makes a cute lion, if I do say so myself.

Hyrum was adamant about being a Ninja Turtle. This was fun to make and he has worn it every day since it was completed. That's what I love about making costumes. They wear them over and over. It's a labor of love.

And our pumpkins. Sterling wanted a scary faced one, and Hyrum wanted... can you guess? A Ninja Turtle. This is his mom's best Jack-O-Lantern Michaelangelo. He had a major melt-down about it the night it was down, but after a good nights sleep, he tried to carry it around the house and showed it to everyone who came to the door. I guess I didn't do too bad. And it's a good thing Grandma was here to help Sterling!!

And Grandma and Grandpa got to have all the Halloween fun with the kids. I'm sure they are grateful we're home so they can rest. My mom said she forgot what it was like to go to the store with three kids. Now they want to take the kids more often so I can get things done! Awesome!! I think she also forgot that as a mom with kids you just make it work and it's really not that bad. Or I've just lost my mind. That's a very distinct possibility...

Love the costumes. If I were a boy, I'd want to be a ninja turtle too. They're just cool. And the pumpkin turtle is awesome! Good job. Did you have fun on your trip?

Darling boys, Sarah! Love them! By the way, I've totally lost my mind, so I'm nearly certain that that's what has happened to you. Just saying.:)

Adorable costumes! And great job on the ninja turtle. Hyrum looks intense as a turtle! How did the craft show go? I wanted to come down but Emily and David came for the weekend, so I stayed home. :)
