to make up for my lack of pictures lately . . .

well i'm glad halloween is over
you know it's not my favorite holiday.
but we make it fun for the boys so it is what it is.
i just try to not make a big deal about it either way.
but my boys do love to dress up.
they always have.
as long as i can remember they have dug around in their dress up box every single day.
it is normal life around here for them to come out of their room with some crazy outfit on.

i love it when i see a cute family with a whole theme going on with their costumes.
a lot of my friends did that and it was adorable.
we used to do that.
we may do it again someday.
but for right now, we do the, go-look-in-your-dress-up-box-and-see-what-you-can-come-up-with plan.
they are super happy about it & they don't complain for a minute.
so our night is pretty fun and stress-free, even if we do look a little jankity & hodge-podge. :)

this year we randomly had 3 events to dress up for.
the first was a fall festival at the church where sawyer goes to mother's day out.

 

for this event avery was an alien (can't you tell???), fin was a knight & sawyer was the cutest little puffy dragon you ever did see. 

and oh my, that little boy loved. the. candy.

the next event was a trunk or treat at a local church. 

the boys dressed as bankers. 

angry bankers, apparently.

 shaking hands like men. :)

 and here is my friend stacy who does nothing half way.
she always has her whole family in the cutest theme.
love it.

 we have sooooo much candy.
i figured i might as well start now with the indulging and go straight on through to new year's.

 sawyer got the idea very quickly.

  and finally on sunday night we let the boys walk around our neighborhood to trick or treat a little bit.

they were pumped.

 spiderman who wears spiderman slippers . . .
and a clone.

 sawyer was so adorable all cozied up in the wagon, ready to go.

i wonder if he now thinks that anytime he wears that costume, he gets candy handed to him..... 

it worked out 3 times for him.

 sawyer was crazy-cute in that little dinosaur outfit.
every house oooohed and aaaahed over him.
you could just eat him up.

kids make life so fun. :)
