Halloween 2013

Halloween day was pretty typical, but with my kids getting older I have to enjoy these holidays, no matter how typical they might get.

This will be my last year attending a school costume parade.  Sniff.  As much as I've complained about the life of a mom on Halloween, I know I'll miss it when it's gone.

I took my turn at Landon's class Halloween party and did the treat.  The kids sure had fun making their apple mouths.

Halloween night was typical, as well - a rushed dinner to get the kids out the door with their friends.  

I still hung out with Landon and his friend while they went trick-or-treating.  I just can't relinquish the job of Trick-or-treat Chaperon.  I enjoyed the night chatting with the other mom and neighbors as well as seeing the happy trick-or-treaters.

This last picture is just for documentation purposes.  I think Leon's "Thing 45" costume was memorable, but one that I'd love to soon forget.  It was a bit creepy, but that's probably what he was going for.

Dallin (Link), Jayden (Purple Minion), and Leon (Thing 45 - a Dr. Seuss reject).

Happy Halloween 2013!
