happy? halloween

first can i tell you that halloween is probably my most unfavorite holiday!
this is the pumpkin we carved on our first halloween (ahhh... sweet huh?!)

when my kids were little, i hated (i know, thats a pretty strong word), but i really, really, disliked trying to come up with costumes for them every year.

chet as "aunt jemimah" and mel as a witch
i do have to admit, that chet was pretty darn cute! and i did a pretty good job making mel the witch costume that she wanted soooo bad.

haley and cheyne
the clown costume was a hand-me-down, and the cowboy... well it was always a good stand by!

then we had some friends that loved halloween and had an adult party every year.
what a pain to come up with costumes for us, as well.
here are a few that we came up with (at the last minute of course!)

jacki as a "black widow" donnie as a retard!

jacki and don

don had a sign on his butt, that said "if only i had a brain!"

can you guess who's who?


well... i think we are over that stage of our lives. now we can just sit back and enjoy watching the kids come up with all of the extravagant costumes they come up with these days, and enjoy the thrill that the grandkids bring with all of their excitement!
happy halloween to y'all!
