halloween 2015

this summer, while hitting up a rummage sale, i came across a dorothy and tin man costume from the wizard of oz. both were sizes that i knew two of my kids would fit into, and i couldn't resist.  now these days, i understand that there might not be many young ones out there that are familiar with the wizard of oz. paxton is one of them. but the twins, if you remember, went through a phase where they wanted to watch the movie over.and.over.and.over.again.  i knew they would be all about these costumes. kaden got to choose between being the lion or scarecrow. he was proud to wear his lion costume, along with his badge of courage.

my sister-in-law and her family decided to come home for the halloween weekend. it was perfect, my nephew would be the scarecrow. and the cutest scarecrow he was! this gang was off to see the wizard.

my niece, as much as we tried to get her to be a part of the "theme" was determined she was not wearing a costume this halloween. last minute, she decided to be a fairy :)

this little man rocked trick-or-treating. it was so much fun to be able to share this experience with him

we had quite the following. in years past, it has taken us f.o.r.e.v.e.r. to get costumes on and get out the door. this year, with it being on a saturday, we seemed to have plenty of time. we started off with an early dinner and were quickly out the door. i admit, it might have been just a leeeetle bit early. but with young kids, i was ok with it. the kids were finished and still weren't too far off of their schedules. and as you know, we like our schedules.

we have a busy/fun weekend planned, but i will be back with more of what we've been up to :)
