All Things Halloween...

This year, we made flying bats to add to our Halloween Porch decorations.  Our Butler is a family favorite, although it freaks most of our neighbors out. But, that's what Halloween is about, right? Mission accomplished, although I do feel a little bad that some of the kids HATE him in our neighborhood, but then again, some kids LOVE him.

Usually it's me who is dragging everyone to the store to buy Pumpkins.  This year, Nate was all over it. We picked out some GREAT pumpkins and told the girls we would carve them the following night.  Hailey, as usual was LOVING sticking her hand in the pumpkin guts and making awesome faces to go with it. Addy, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with it.

Having children in the house makes Halloween and any holiday or special even SO much more exciting.  I am the parent helper in Hailey's preschool class and she was so excited for DAYS about her Halloween party and program at school. Leading up to this, Hailey had a really hard time deciding what to be for Halloween this year. She wanted to be so many things that she really couldn't narrow it down and decide. I think the end result of Mulan was perfect. She was absolutely adorable.

Once she decided on Mulan, she was extremely excited to call her Aunt Carmen to tell her. She knows that Mulan is Carmen's favorite Disney movie and character and she couldn't wait to ask her how to say 'Trick Or Treat' in Mandarin.

Addy was very excited FOR Hailey. 

She loved watching her get all dressed up.

It got her even more excited to dress up on Halloween.
