Halloween

We had a great Halloween. We decided to go to Aunt Erica's house to Trick-or-Treat this year since we didn't have to worry about getting up and going to school the next day. Here are some pics of our time there.

Erica dressed as Sarah Palin of course and looked great. I was like a vampiress or something- minus the teeth. You can't see it in the picture but I had on these huge eyelashes with glitter on them. Cool.

Ellie was a beautiful southern belle and Logan was a zombie. Every time we took a picture this is how he posed! He looks pretty scary in some of them! I thought everyone looked great.
Overall it was a great time trick-or-treating. All the kids did great. No crying or fits!! Woo hoo!

The kids also decorated a haunted castle like we do every year, although this year it didn't get done until Halloween day!! They did a great job. I hardly helped at all! It was great. There are some great perks to kids getting older. Also, I'm learning to let go and let them do their own thing. Even if it isn't exactly like what I would do. Being a preschool teacher is definitely helping me with that. It's more important that the kids do things themselves than for them to look perfect.
Also, just for a little "only in Texas", here's a pic of the kids on one of our first cold nights in front of the fire eating popscicles! They also roasted marshmallows, but I thought the popscicles were just hilarious!
