All Hallow's Eve

'Tis the night - the night

Of the grave's delight,

And the warlocks are at their play;

Ye think that without

The wild winds shout,

But no, it is they - it is they.

So, I failed as a Mom last Halloween in the picture department-- these are the only shots I got. In my defense, I really wasn't feeling all that great at the beginning of the night and so I just tarried along behind my little trick or' treating family while they had a blast. This was the closest we got to getting Peyton to smile for the pictures-- he just wanted to go and have a great time!

His costume last year was the easiest to find out of the whole family. He literally just walked into the costume store and within two minutes, had decided that this was what he was going to be--a Disney Car's pit crewman. He couldn't be swayed by anything else, so there you go! :)

Peyton is obviously practicing his evil eye. Are you scared yet?

 I love that Chloe is looking in her treat bucket like 'What did they just put in there?!'

Lylah (dressed as an angel) has a really cute expression on her face too.

Troy decided to dress up as a person who didn't have time to get a costume.

{More sad than scary, really.}

Chloe managed to unwrap about six lollipops before I noticed--here she is enjoying yet another sucker. Sneaky girl! Chloe also happened to be the winner of a 'Sweetest Costume' prize at one house where she got an extra bag of goodies in addition to her treat.

Even though Halloween has long been over, every day Chloe asks to be "Snow White!" In fact, she calls her red sparkly shoes--her "Snow White's" since those were the shoes she was wearing with her costume that night. :)
