Halloween 2014

I love Halloween!  I mean, how can you not love it?!   When can you dress up however you want to and be someone completely different than you are!!??  And, the reason for the season . . . CANDY!  :)

Ryan tossed around going trick or treating this year.  He decided, kind of at the last minute, to go.  His friend, Kendall, came with us.  We had tons of fun!  I think they were worn out from all the walking when it was over.  Not sure why--I was fine and I am the old person!!

This year we were a trip to the movies.  Lydia decided very early on that she wanted to be a box of popcorn.  She designed her costume and Mike helped her put it together.  We kind of talked Emily into being a fountain drink.  What other drink than an orange Crush (just like her Crush softball team) would make sense for her to be.  Mike designed and put together Emily's costume too.  She did the letters and put on the front.  The compliments were like no other year!!  Soooo many people commented and remarked on how cute the costumes were!!  People would ask us how we designed them.  The girls would even get extra candy sometimes because they were so cute.  We told everyone that Ryan and Kendall were the actors in the horror movie we were seeing on our trip to the movies.  They did not seem to understand why they did not get the comments the girls did.  They thought their costumes were stellar.  I had to explain that scary is too ordinary at Halloween.  Original is the way to go.  :)  Definitely a winning costume year!!
