We all have our own sets of traditions. This is really funny to me, since Halloween is a necessary evil so to say. To say that I am not fan, is truly an understatement. It's a holiday about candy, monsters and tricks to me. None of which I believe deserve a celebration.........well maybe the candy.......but no one needs 35 pounds of candy to consume for themselves. (Yes, I do really know the real story behind Halloween.) So, the fact that our families most defined traditions are for this holiday, humors me a bit.
When the kids were really little, it was too much work and too much for them to cope with to carve 4 pumpkins. The Rocket Scientist came up with this great idea. He would hand each of them a black crayon and tell them to draw the eyes and tell another to draw the nose and so on. The RS would then carve out whatever and where ever they drew. There are years that we have some Jack-O-Lanterns with some serious personality. So this is this years. I love him. I think he is darling.
The Sea Monkeys trick-or-treated in the neighborhood. I have decided that there is no easy way to take a picture of four kids at once. There is always somebody not looking, walking away or posing in a fashion that, well, scroll down, you'll see.

Very cute!! I need to get on your costume hand-me-down list. ; )
I love Puss and Boots! All those poor women and princesses out there!!
I love the pictures! The oldest sea monkey looks just like you!! They are all beautiful!
Is your boy Tuvak? Cuz that would totally ROCK.
Last year was my kids' first year trick or treating, or doing anything Halloween-y. This was our first year carving pumpkins. Better late than never, right?
Your kids look great! And I just read the other comments - Puss-n-Boots? That's not as much fun as Tuvak. :(
Flea- Sadly, I am not as cool as you. I have no idea who Tuvac is.
Awesome photos. The Sea Monkey's are looking good.
Your kids are darling! I love the princesses.
I grew up celebrating Halloween as a time to dress in costume and eat chocolate. I'm passing that tradition on to the kids. I'm also eating THEIR chocolate.
All I can say about #1 is: Tyra Banks, watch out! Is she a natural poser or what?
there's a lot of posing going on there! and it's sooooo cute!
I know what you mean about not getting a good picture with more than one kid in the pic. Your kids look great. I was sorry to hear about your dog.
Adam just celebrated his 5th Halloween, and we have yet to carve a pumpkin! I love the costumes. I go a little crazy! But this is actually the first year we've gone trick-or-treating. And we only went to a handful of houses. I just don't need that much sugary crap in my house!
Especially since we are making a dedicated effort to live healthier these days.
And, just for the record, I think any mother who lets their 6 year old dress up as some guy with an ax in his head is just asking for trouble! If I were President I'd make a new law that said all Halloween costumes had to be cute or funny. I'd also outlaw haunted houses. I HATE them!
They looked adorable! Love the two little princesses with their upstyle hair.
