This year, thanks to the good Lord from above, Halloween was on a Saturday. I am also grateful for this due to the fact that I work at a Daycare, we don't have to deal with the kids being crazy and excited the day of AND we don't have to deal with them all being cranky the next day. However, next year will be a different story ...
Anyways, like I said, Halloween was great! We were fortunate to spend this year's Halloween with my sister, her husband and their three kids (had to take advantage of Halloween on a Saturday). Everybody looked so great in their Costumes! - Not to mention, my Mom (their Nonie), made all the costumes (except for Stephen's). They all looked so great! My Mom is pretty talented, y'all.
Yellow Puppy, Soldier, Butterfly
Woody & Buzz Lightyear
Now in the past my Children have been NUTORIOUS for getting sick at the most inconvenient times, and Halloween was no exception. Four days before Halloween, William started running a fever. However, luckily (I guess?) it was just a fever virus and nothing else. We just had to let it run it's course. And fortunately, the morning of Halloween, William woke up and no longer had a fever.
We had a lot of fun during the day, just hanging out and watching some Aggie football. Then ... It was TIME! Time for the kids to put on their costumes! Alisha painted her kids' faces, and Taytum's face turned out awesome! Her kids really could not wait to put on their costumes. My boys ... Not so much. While we were getting them dressed, they were not happy with us. At all! It made them feel a little better though when they were able to go outside. For William though, that didn't last long. He was not happy pretty much the entire time we were trick or treating. Walker though, did great! It was so cute to watch him walk up to the houses with his big cousins to get his candy.
One of my favorite things that happened while we were trick or treating was when we walked up to one of the houses and a lady came to the door. When she greeted us and began to hand the kids some candy, you could see the bowl of candy that she had. When she was about to hand Stephen his piece of candy he said "oh, Reese's are my favorite!" HAHA! I laughed so hard and the lady was so sweet, she gave him Reese's instead of the other candy she was about to put in his bag. Hey, the kid knows what he likes, right?
I loved Emi's costume! The Girl is OBSESSED with the color yellow and puppies, and had the best idea to put the two together. She was so cute to watch while walking from house to house. She was doing the best she could to shake her little tail. When Alisha asked her why she was walking funny she told her "I just waggin my tail".
Not a happy Woody ...
Earlier in the week, Matt was really wanting to carve a pumpkin with the boys. But ... It didn't go quite as well as he had planned. Walker and William wanted NOTHING to do with it. Matt set up everything in the Garage so we could all carve a pumpkin together, and the Boys were acting as if there was no pumpkin to carve. All they were interested in were the utensils we brought out (except the knives) and then proceeded to run around in the garage while Daddy did all the work. I thought it was pretty cute!
Cracks me up at the end of the video when Matt says, "you guys are a great help".
Maybe next year, Dad ...
However, we went a couple of weeks prior to that to pick out a pumpkin, and they both really enjoyed that!
Walker become obsessed with his little "pumpkin" we bought.
Happy Halloween!
Love, The Barone Family
