The Best of Halloween

I am not a halloween fan.....but I am warming up to the idea of celebrating it more than I used to. I am NOT into the scary, gross, or spooky things. I do love the cute, fun, and festive crafts, foods, and costumes. We didn't much this year, but my boys sure had fun making black balloon spiders, glue ghosts, and painted foot ghosts.

As for dressing up...Drew decided on Batman, Carter a caterpillar, and Miss Maylee a black cat. Lu let us borrow the batman costume and Drew had been a caterpillar two years ago. I have to thank Shell for the design of the kitty costume and for letting me copy her outfit and for making Maylee's ears. These girls were too cute! Drew got his cast removed on Halloween day and needless to say his little leg was not up for a night of walking. He had it made being strolled from doorstep to doorstep by his wonderful daddy!

 

As for the candy...it is great and all, but I am so done for the requests of a "treat" or "candy" or even "sugar". As of today I am off white sugar again and I am SO glad! That bag of chocolate candy in the cupboard has been the death of my healthy eating lately!

I already have ideas for next year's costumes....kids sure make this holiday better!
