Halloween Excitement...

We always get excited for Halloween to roll around. This year we just couldn't stand the wait anymore, I suckered in and bought Anthony the costume he wanted since he has been pretty consistent on what he wanted to be.... A SKELETON! He loves the costume so much, that he has hardly taken it off in a week. He will either be sick of it by Halloween, or it will be filthy! My fear is the next best thing to be is Tinkerbell!! He's been slightly obsessed with fairies since we went to a little girls birthday party on Saturday and Tinkerbell was there making balloons, painting faces and playing Neverland games. She was great! Anthony kept touching her wings and asking if she could fly. Of course she told him yes, if she thinks happy thoughts and uses her pixy dust. He came home from Nunu's the other day with a pair of beautiful fairy wings. She said of all the swords and toys in the store, all he wanted was the wings. The whole ride home was a discussion about why he couldn't fly, but fairies and birds and airplanes could.... tough to explain to a 3 year old, but he insists on logical answers. He's so cute and very thoughtful. The moral of this story is: Everyone pray the the skeleton costume holds up so I don't have to take Tinkerbell trick-or-treating!!!

Look how cute he looks! The sad thing is, that is a pretty good representation of what his legs look like! Hopefully they will straighten out more as he grows!

Just to give you an idea of how much we like Halloween, here are a few pictures from
HALLOWEEN'S PAST:

Two spiders and a Hula Girl, who transformed into a crazy Doctor.



Superwoman and Elmo... with Mia and Grace as a Ladybug and a Pumpkin! How cute are they!!



And finally, Pocahontas and the Alligator with Kyler as a Horse! So funny!


Hope we can keep up this year!

Sister, I love how you commented on his boney legs. So funny, he really is a knock knee. Well, if it makes you feel any better, Warner is still very bow-legged. We just can't get it right.
On a seperate note, I think one of you really should be a fairy. Maybe you or Mitchell could be one!
