I figured I’d just keep it totally real in the title.
Without getting into a huge theological discussion about it, I will just say that, YES, we “do” Halloween. By that, I mean, my kids wear cute costumes and we visit our neighbors. They “ooh” and “ahh” over how sweet they are and give them candy. It’s really rather fun and non-evil, but, anyway…
A bag of chocolate chips. Seriously. What could be sweeter??
She’s supposed to be a ballerina, but she’s channelling inner super hero here, I think…
I typically hate clowns. But not this one!
I love this shot just because A. almost always defaults to smiling down at his baby sis in pictures… it just makes me grin.
Six going on sixteen. I feel teen angst radiating in this shot…
G. manages to look like she’s up to something more often than not!
My sweethearts.
Mine are most certainly not the only Halloween cutie pies out there! I would LOVE if you would leave links in the comments to any posts you may have published with shots of your costumed kiddos. It would make my day to pop in and see them.
We “do” Halloween with our kids like you do. Dress them up in cute outfits and take them to get candy from the neighbors. We went to Target last night to get the oldest an outfit for next year…first time buying from the kid section and not baby. I was SHOCKED at how skimpy some of the outfits were for 4-5 yr olds!!! Not to mention that almost every year it’s freezing outside at the end of October. Anyway, your kids are adorable!
Oh, don’t get me started on the skimpy costumes. Blech. People go on and on about how “all the cute stuff is for baby girls!!” Clearly, they never think ahead to how quickly girl stuff gets tricky– way too much skimpy/trampy stuff out there. (And not just at Halloween!)
Oh yes! Some summer clothes for preschoolers is way to skimpy and the bathing suits! Seriously a binki for a 2 yr old?!?
We don’t do Halloween but I love seeing all the little ones in cute outfits.
I love the bag of chocolate chips:)
Thanks, Nora! My mom actually made that costume for my sister more than 25 years ago… pretty crazy, eh?
This is the first year Grace dressed up. I’ve always been on the fence if we should do it or not, but what made me say NO in past years was that I didn’t want all that candy in the house!
Now she is old enough to understand a little bit and old enough to be able to handle a little candy too. Here are our pictures:

So, SO cute!! I absolutely adore the popcorn halo/crown.
Cute indeed!
Love the bag of chocolate chips. What an original costume. That hat is too cute.
