Halloween . . . finally!

Halloween is the 2nd favorite holiday around our house, second only to Christmas. My girls usually start planning their costumes in July. They change their minds a dozen or so times and then once they get their costumes, they hang in their room in plain sight awaiting the day that they can be worn. Thankfully, they got to wear them to school on Friday AND again on Saturday night. They decided a long time ago that they wanted to be something that went together and finally came up with Dorothy and Glinda. Kinley made a pretty cute Dorothy and Kaiya sat in hot rollers for an hour to get the right amount of poof for her big hair.

Cooper decided this would be his last year trick-or-treating in the hood with the girls and he finally came up with a rapper costume that worked out pretty nice. He was a referee on Friday at school, but he decided that was too boring. It was spirit week at school the whole week and I was pretty impressed that he busted out of his shell and had me do a pigtail hairdo for crazy hair day and wore a princess crown for hat day.

I got a night out with friends for the annual Witches Night Out. It's worth it just to see the looks on peoples' faces when we all walk into a restaurant! So fun.

So glad it was a warm day and semi-warm evening. The kids have more candy than they know what to do with (much will be donated to hungry nurses at work) and Cooper loved going to a party with his friends and his first school dance on Friday night. Did I mention that he is growing up too fast?

Ready to go!
