Halloween

Having Ian with us this Halloween was so much fun! I love to see the boys excited about trick or treating and picking out costumes. Ian has wanted to be a Transformer since the beginning of summer and of course Bryce was right with him. I'm hoping that maybe next year we can be a little more creative and do something as a family. I would love to make the costumes. As it is, I wore a dreadlock wig. Not terribly original I admit. I loved Spencer's costume and I dare say it was the cutest little kid costume I saw. Of course I'm biased. The boys made out with plenty of candy. The basic rule around here is they can have one piece a day (a little candy never hurt anyone) and only if they will eat their dinner. I'm sure we could probably eat healthier around here and yet most of the time I'm just grateful if my boys will eat what I've made. The funny thing is that the boys don't seem to remember that we even have the candy....out of sight out of mind.

Ward Trunk or Treat

Little Spencer was a skunk!

Ian was Optimus Prime....on the 30th we went to a Halloween activity on base so the kids got to dress up two nights in a row. They loved it!


Bryce was Megatron

Only one piece a day????? Seriously????? It's a candy buffet every day at our house!

Your family pictures are really cute, by the way. Jaron gets one piece of candy a day too. We made a countdown to Thanksgiving with his candy. He's loved it so far. (He usually ends up with all kinds of candy or sweets every day. I can't eat any without him having some too.)

I let Jack eat as much as he wanted for the last few days and now I have the rest bagged up to use as bribes later. I call it free parenting assistance.
