Finally, I'm posting about Halloween! I'm always behind! But better late than never, right?
It feels like every year, the list of Halloween festivities gets longer and longer, so it's always a relief when the holiday has passed. Maybe I'm the only one that feels that way, but I sure do. I love Halloween, but it gets to be too much after the 12th party or activity. We actually backed off a little this year and skipped a few of the festivities we had planned on doing, so it was a little better. We only did the ward trunk or treat, Parker's school party, trick or treating at Brown Park, and then real trick or treating door to door. We have so much candy, we will never get rid of it all!
Long before Halloween, Kaeson decided he wanted to be a football player for Halloween, which we were all about because we have a Wyoming football jersey, so we wouldn't have to buy anything! And Macie has a Wyoming cheerleader outfit that was handed down from her cousins, so we were thrilled to only have to come up with one other costume. Well, while shopping for an idea for Parker's costume, Kaeson found a U of L football jersey that came with a helmet, and his eyes absolutely lit up. I couldn't bear to take that pure joy away from him, so we gave in and let him be a Cardinal Football Player. We tried to talk Parker into being a Wyoming football player and using that jersey, but he got his heart set on Batman. Who are we to tell him he can't be what he wants for Halloween! All the Batman costumes were really expensive or the wrong size or horribly ugly, so against my better judgment, i decided to make his costume. What was I thinking? !
