Halloweeeeeeeeen

I did not take a picture at a single Halloween event this year. And we went to a lot of Halloween events! Halloween has morphed from one night of fun (when I was a child) to a month of decorations and a full week of candy. My kids didn't even go out on Halloween night because I was so sick of candy already! And it was raining. It was a good excuse.

They loved their costumes, though, and dressed up in the middle of October. That's where these photos are from. I was playing with the manual settings on my camera.


Henry was a dragon. It's a great costume! He hated the hood, though. He hated it so much that for our fourth Halloween party he was only willing to wear a cape. So he was a superhero for that party. Four Halloween parties!?!? Yes, it's out of control.


You might guess, Grace was a pony. And Dorothy. I don't know how she squeezed into that costume, but she did! I finally got the manual settings right when I took this photo of Grace.


My kids were sick of being my subjects at that point, so I took some of myself on the timer. I think I'm getting the hang of the manual settings again! Yay!


For Halloween I used all three of my default costumes. First, I was Maleficent. Second, I was a queen. And lastly, I was a witch. Scott tried on his Jack Skellington costume, but it made Henry cry, so he didn't dress up.

Love that you include us in your Halloween family dress-up! I too am amazed at how Halloween has changed just in the last 10-15 years since you dressed up for trick or treating. I'd have never made it through that much partying.

How time flies! Your kids are just adorable Britta! I love catching up this way and seeing what you have been up to! It looks like it was a fun Halloween.
