My children and I had a blast last night... I couldn't get off early from work, but my brother, mother, and sister-in-law all helped get the children ready for halloween.. I left everything out in the morning (with instructions for some). One of the best parts of Halloween is helping the children get ready and taking the pictures before they mess up their costume.... BUT i've been working hard lately and couldn't get off early...
My halloween tradition is going to my church's Costume Carnival.. which is from 6-8 so i knew it would be a rush to get there... I left work at 6:30.. everyone was ready and fed when i got home at 6:45... so, we made it to the carnival by 7:10 pm. This was a blast. The children are old enough to stick together (unlike when the little ones would run away in the past)... The older ones were old enough to stand in line by themselves, etc. We had a blast!! And the Cinderella story from the Zest Test thread LOL... Another funny story is trying to take pictures of a spinning ride with my digital camera. Okay, ya know how there is a delay with digital cameras from the time you snap button til the picture is actually taken... So, i would snap the button but the children would pass by before the picture was taken... it took quite a few shots before i was able to time it just right.
And the huge smiles on their faces as they were flying by is PRICELESS!!
The carnival didn't close exactly at 8 pm either which gave us a little extra time on the balloon jumpy stuff (what are those called, anyway). All my children from age 14 - 3 loved playing on them. And i was able to sit back, stress free and watch them have fun.
Costumes: DD14 wore my prom dress from 15 yrs ago and was a Goth Prom Princess... DS13 was going to be Sephiroth from the game FF7 but he didn't like the gray wig, so he wore the costume and called himself a gangster.... DS8 was his gangster side kick.. DD4 was Cinderella (i'm suprise her costume lasted because she wore it almost everyday prior to).. DD3 was a powerranger. They all looked adorable and hilarious.
As for my costume, i was tinkerbell but i didn't go all out.. i had a cute dress and a pair of green wings and that was about it... I went to the karaoke party later that night but don't really have a story about that..

Well, my mom picked Nicolas up from school and brought him to my office so he could see how we decorated.
