Halloween

A few years ago, I put my foot down about paying for Halloween costumes. How ridiculous is it to spend money on something they will wear for just a few hours? When I was little, you just figured it out...we dug through the closets and used our imagination.

This year, Jackson went all out. I did buy him some hair color, but it was really cheap. He came up with his costume all on his own.

The best part was that he rigged his Guitar Hero guitar to play Sweet Child of Mine. He taped his MP3 player to the back and turned it up so that you could hear it. It was pretty ingenious!

Sarah was a princess, and she loved putting on makeup. I dug an old tiara out of the attic and she thought that was so awesome.

Caleb was a hobo again this year. I love hobo costumes...it just means you are pretty much ready to go when it is time to trick or treat. You don't need to clean up and those holes in your jeans are perfect! I just added a beard, a hat, and a sign that said "Will work for candy!"

Levi was a security guard and Aaron was a Georgia fan. Easy peasy...

We had our usual crowd over for chili and trick or treating. We may or may not have eaten more candy than we gave out. It was a fun night!
