Halloween

The costumes Grandma made turned out great! They were super cute and original. I love home made costumes. No one else, ever will have these costumes, but aside from that they are just special. It's fun to plan and fun to make them. (unless You do as I do and procrastinate)

I love Halloween because typically boring people like me get to be creative and play make believe like a small kid again. It's the one time when I really can play with my children like dolls and put them in crazy clothes just for fun, and they love it! There are so many fun things to do in October! Apple picking, pumpkin patches, carving pumpkins, Halloween parties and trick or treating are just a few!

Thursday was freezing for trick or treat. (Is Columbus the only place to do trick or treat on the Thursday before Halloween?) The kids were both pretty cold. We started late and ended early, Karina was shivering and Jr whined about how cold he was. It was not that fun. They enjoyed passing out candy back at the house though so all was not lost!



Saturday we went to the zoo for Boo at the Zoo. The kids wore costumes and got candy. Some of the animals had pumpkins. It was fun and much warmer then Thursday. Jr still complained that he was chilly, I think he is a warm weather kind of person. Salim and Keleigh came over Saturday night after the kids were in bed and we dressed in costumes and played Monopoly. So now we have a bunch of candy to eventually eat and super hero costumes for make believe activities. I'm a little sad Halloween is over, but the holiday season is just beginning!
