Halloween 2013

Halloween was  fun, busy, stressful, exhausting and full of candy!!  Pretty much, the perfect day!!!

I had been eyeing this Football costume for Maddox since he was 2!!  I just couldn’t bring myself to pay the ridiculous Pottery Barn price for it!  So this year I lucked up and found it for less than half on Ebay!!! Whoop Whoop!

So since I LOVE coordinating costumes…..Ryder HAD TO BE A FOOTBALL FIELD!!  The only problem was….I search online high and low, but could not find the costume.  So that only left one resort….DIY!!  Thanks to my husband for helping me!  He even did a little sewing on the project!!!  Man after my own heart!!!

Maddox was super excited to be a Football!!!

First stop was trick or treating at my Mawmaw’s church…Lander’s Chapel, it is just up the street from our house.  It is a small church and they had about 5 trunk or treat cars! 

Trick or Treat NANA!!!!

The sweetest Strawberry EVER!!!  Miss Stella!!!

I could seriously eat her up!!  Laura wore a shirt with “SHORT” wrote on it and Nathan had a shirt with “CAKE” on it.  So all together they were Strawberry Short Cake!!!  So cute!!

Cousins!!!

Love all the personality in this one!!

PRECIOUS!!!!

Daddy got home from work just as we were getting ready to leave.

Next stop….Mawmaw Mosteller’s!!

Mawmaw getting her Stella fix!!

My sweet friend Misty!  We trick or treat at her house every year!  She spoils the boys with prizes and cupcakes!!  Not to mention her house is absolutely AMAZING….decked out for Halloween!

There were only about 4 houses with lights on in our neighborhood so we hit them last!  The boys LOVED being out in the dark and getting to walk thru the neighborhood trick or treating!

Ryder didn’t know what to think about the pumpkin that threw up!!

The boys LOVE Breanna!!

I asked for a smile and this is what I got!  You can tell it was getting late and he was getting delirious.

Last stop!!!

Kim came out and was talking to the boys…..Maddox was ready to shed his costume.  He was wearing all brown underneath it so we were picking with him earlier and told him when he took his costume off…he became a terd.  So naturally what did he tell Kim after he took his costume off….”Now I’m a Terd”…..she started dying laughing!  Great end to a great night!!

Halloween 2012

The week of Halloween was a crazy one!!!  The Sunday before Halloween we started moving all our furniture out of our downstairs and ripped up all our floors in preparation to have hardwoods installed.  So my precious sister Joy and her family welcomed us in to their house for a couple days!!  One of those days was Halloween so it was a little chaotic being moved out of our house with so many events that day going on.

My Dog and Dog Catcher!!!

It all started with Maddox’s preschool party!! They sang a couple cute songs and then went around to stations to play games.  I love getting the chance to be around Maddox with all his classmates to see how he interacts with them and also to put faces with names of the children he comes home talking about.

My little dog catcher!

To make the day a little more chaotic…I was dropping Ryder off at MMO and as I’m getting ready to pull him out of his car seat…he throws up chocolate milk all over his costume…fun times!!  So…he left with me and we went back to Joy’s to do damage control on his fur!!

This is his friend Carys…she told him to smile and he started blushing…too cute!!!

His buddy Jacob…they had fun wrestling each other!

Since we were at Joy’s, I went to pick up Caine from wrestling practice before going trick or treating!!  The boys were entertained by Tori while we waited in the car!!

First Stop….Nana’s!!!

The Dog did not want to slow down for a picture!!

My beautiful sister and Mommy!!

The cutest disco girl ever!! Love me some Tori!!

Love these two!!

Off to Great Mawmaws!!

Priceless!  We all think the world of her!!

Trick or Treating in our neighborhood!! No one at home…honor system!!

Local Fire Department!

This is all at my friend Misty’s house!! Misty and her husband do Halloween up like nobody's business..…it is so good!!  Here is some of the outside décor!! 

Ryder loved playing with all her fun décor inside!!  He went over to the snake and started putting his finger in its mouth and kissing it!!  It had a motion detector on it and would rattle it’s tail and then strike at you….I think we are going to have to keep a close eye on Ryder next summer.  He had no fear!!  Maddox on the other hand…wouldn’t get near it!!

Misty as Bat Woman!!  She is so pretty and has the best hair!!!

The Halloween Moon!!!

We got back to Joy’s house after 9 and had supper waiting on us!!  So thankful for her hospitality while we stayed with them!!!  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again….My family is amazing!!!
