Halloween 2014

This was our easiest Halloween yet, I loved it!  Of course I was excited for the festivities, I love Halloween, but the kids all three chose super simple costumes and it just made it that much easier to enjoy and not have so stress or spend much time or money putting things together for them, awesome! Pierson chose Percy Jackson, a character from a favorite books series he has enjoyed reading.  We needed shredded jeans and an orange t -shirt and some black hair spray paint.  Madi chose to be a Rainbow Fairy character (also a book series character) and was "Brooke, the Photographer Fairy", her own idea, just a cute outfit and a camera and some fairy wings!  Wahoo.  I picked up some fairy wings and wand and made her a fairy dust pouch with some glitter and sprayed sparkles in her hair, loved it.  And Jens, thankfully, and after much deliberation and too many ideas for me to remember, chose to be a puppy, a costume we had from Pierce, which Jens ended up wearing last year after he decided he didn't like wearing the Rocket costume.

The funniest thing about Jens choosing  costume was that he was actually talking about what he wanted to be for about 3 months, on his own, without any encouragement from me.  During the summer he randomly said to me, "Mom, you could be Mel for Halloween and I could be Jerzi!"  He was so excited about his idea and the kids thought it was great idea, Madi suggested I just borrow an outfit from Mel and wear a long wig.  After that, several times a week, all through summer and up until we were close to Halloween and had to make a decision, he would come up with a new idea, it really kept us laughing! At random times he'd just shout out, "Mom I could be a ---------- for Halloween"! Some of them that I remember are firetruck, garbage truck, Spider Man, Green Lantern, Iron Man, Jake, Roam (so funny, this is my friend Ashley's baby) Ferno and Bowen.  Even though it wasn't a real "Jerzi" costume and I didn't come through and dress as Mel, he was excited to be a puppy.  Here are our picture highlights...

 Madi & Annie, Annie's Grandma made her this beautiful Elsa dress and Heidi an Ana one, they were amazing!

Madi & made these darling Halloween banners at Activity Days, (thanks to Kathryn!), I loved how it looked with our Halloween decor, I just love my mantel decorated for fall and Halloween!
 Madi also looking festive in her jack o lantern shirt, her little side kick was too busy to pause for the photo

Pumpkin Carving! 

Jensen's favorite story this Halloween season was "The Littlest Pumpkin",  I read it to him over and over.  He was so excited to go to the store and pick out his own "littlest pumpkin".  '
 Love his excitement!

 Pumpkin guts!

The big night! 

Pierce looked pretty good as Percy Jackson!  Ryan did a little computer work and we were able to make an iron on to make him a "Camp Half Blood" t shirt. I drew on his tattoo with a sharpie, I thought I did a pretty good job!

 These are my favorite pictures, Jens was only concerned about his pumpkin and nothing else.

The Loot 


 I loved sorting out my candy when I was  kid and counting how many I got of each kind, makes me happy to see them doing this. So fun.


It was a very Happy Halloween!
