Halloween 2008

Halloween was interesting this year. After a lot of convincing, Jaycee decided to go as a bumble bee. She was going to be a princess, but we had all the itchiness to deal with. Then, she wanted to be a gorilla. Granted the gorilla costume is adorable, but she was a gorilla the previous 2 years. Also, Cameron was going as the grim reaper, and Chantz as a Ninja(again). I didn't want three solid black costumes on my kids.
Unfortunately I did not get a picture of Cameron. He decided to skip wrestling to go trick-or-treating with his friend at 4:00!! He was informed that this would be his last year since he's 12. He wasn't thrilled, but I'm sure he'll get over it. I guess parents are not cool when you're 8 either, because Chantz went out with his friend too. Jaycee was the only one that we actually took trick-or-treating, and we had to force her to go. What kid doesn't like to go get candy?! Last year she was so much fun. This year, she wouldn't walk, wouldn't say "trick-or-treat", or "thank you." Consequently, we only went to half of our street, and one street over. If we didn't have friends on that street we wouldn't have even taken her there. She was much happier when we got home and she got to help hand out the candy.




Chantz as a ninja, again. I'm hoping it's too small for him next year!


These our the awesome spiders Mike made. I made the little ghost.














We had some twigs in our yard that the boys had found. Mike made this weird thing and told Chantz it was a goblin caller. Chantz thought it was cool. Come to think of it, I think it's still outside. I guess we didn't quite get all of the decorations taken down.
