Halloween 2013....we tend to measure years by Halloween at our house. Svea was born four days before Halloween so it's always an easy time to remember. This was her fourth Halloween, which is weird to think about since she's only three. She was going to be a bumblebee and we had the wings and outfit ready to go, but at the last minute she changed her mind to a fairy. It was a a big to do costume, but she liked it:)
Kieran went as Superman! Batman last year and now Superman. You can tell who his Dad is right?
It was a cold and drizzly night here and Kieran was super crabby. I finally found out the reason per crabbiness in his mouth the other day when I was holding him upside down to make him laugh. Two molars coming in at the same time. Ouch!
Svea got the fairy costume from someone at church. One day she was a fairy ballerina dancing around the living room. By the way, Mom....she wants to wear her ballerina outfit every day and she does....until she gets some type of food on it and then it comes off. Svea does NOT like water, food, or any type of mess on her clothes. They must immediately come off. Trust us, we've tried to teach her to shake it off and let it go.
Here's Superman! He's ready to go now, but it was hard to get a picture of him. He kept chasing after me.....pick me up...I crabby Mom!!!!
First time going door to door trick-or-treating! (Last year she was sick and we couldn't go anywhere, but over to Larry and Darcy's house.
After we came back the kids and I (Dan got a church call) handed out candy at the door. KLieran would just stare and smile at the people while Svea helped me put candy in their bags. The last group of treaters Svea grabbed some candy up off the floor that had fallen out of the bucket and gave it to two Duck Dysnasty boys. After they left I realized I couldn't find Kieran's paci. It had been right on the floor....uh, oh! Yep, she gave it to them. They had gone over to the neighbors across the street so when they left that house I called out to them and they came right back and sure enough it was there. Imagine their surprise if they would have made it all of the way home!
Yeah! There it is...we got it back! It was a success this year, but a few people informed us of how you can take your kids to the mall up in St. Cloud. I think we might do that next year. Indoors for the wee ones sounds good to me! Plus, there will be more little ones and not so scary costumes. I thought Svea was gonna be scared from a few masks, but she did ok.
Happy Halloween everyone! The new thing we learned this year is the greatness of knocking on people's doors and receiving candy! Now every time it gets dark outside Svea asks if it's Halloween again!
