This is Halloween


Cannon all ready for his preschool party
He's the "fastest motorcycle rider in the earth" just in case you're wondering.
And we didn't have to purchase anything for his costume.  It was all in his closet for riding his little quad.  Score!

And my pretty little Belle



Together all ready to trick-or-treating


Yes, she's wearing mascara.  I felt kind of weird about putting it on her - like a toddlers and tiaras mom.  But, seriously.  Check out those lashes. 


Oh, man.  What a great year!  They were both so excited about Halloween.  Hazel loved knocking on the doors and seeing the people all dressed up.  She was a little scaredy-cat at some doors and would repeat "I won't be scared" over and over as a positive affirmation while clinging to me whenever she saw something that was even slightly alarming.  Cannon was a total professional.  He would say "trick-or-treat" at each door followed by "Happy Halloween" as he walked back to the sidewalk.  They loved carving "po'nkins", visiting the pumpkin patch, seeing the farm, the hayride and going to see the pirate ship (a family in our neighborhood builds a whole pirate ship in their front yard and fries donuts and makes rootbeer on Halloween night).  So fun!  Halloween hasn't ever been my favorite holiday but I like it much better now that I can do fun stuff with my kids.  I hope you had a great Halloween!

I wish my lashes looked like that! Wow! Both your kids look awesome. I wish I had thought to take pictures of my kids in the DAYLIGHT, I'm such an idiot.

I keep thinking I need to make Halloween more fun for my kids, I just can't seem to get on board. Maybe when I have a house and can decorate the yard...maybe not.
