Hopefully no one is really observant and interested enough to notice that Micah was a lion for Halloween last year (but a different lion), and that Ammon was a bat last year....the very same bat. The thing is, I started to try and gently give other suggestions when Ammon was insisting to get out his bat costume to wear...and then I thought "what in the world am I doing?!" This is so easy and he is so excited about it. I have such a love/hate attitude about Halloween sometimes. It really is fun, and I love seeing the kids all dressed up, but it always seems so overwhelming and overstimulating getting them all ready, and taking them to all the related activities (usually by myself)--and it almost always seems to be accompanied by tantrums and crying and whining much more than the normal doses. This year, we had Grandma and Grandpa Passey visiting so that made it funner than the usual even. Any holiday shared with family is fun. Travis decided to do something different one of the pumpkins this year. I kind of wondered about it but it was all made clear to me when I found out at the ward trunk or treat there was going to be a "competition". And guess who won? ...

Noah dressed as Noah...at teh last minute he decided he did not want to wear the beard or even dress up at all. I told him that was fine, but he would have to pay for anything I had gotten for his costume that HE had asked for, and for my time in making the robe (I got out the sewing machine for the first time in 4 years!). I only asked for $10, but he has been trying and trying to save for a pet, so he decided he would like to dress up after all. I think he was glad because he got all kinds of comments saying how awesome he looked. Some people did call him Moses or a shephard, and one even said he was Santa Claus, but most of them knew right away...
My batty boy--Ammon wore this costume every day for 2 weeks leading up to Halloween to get his fill. He really gets attached to things.
I love this picture.
My cute little pumpkin--I felt a little guilty not dressing her up in something completely girly and using the costume Ammon had used his first Halloween, but my friend Tinah helped me to girl it up and we won't confuse their pictures... This little girl is SO much fun. We seriously cannont get enough of her. She is so cute and happy and smiley and good natured. I love how babies bring out tenderness and goodness in everyone. That's a great reason to try to have one around at all times, right?

i love the Noah costume. I so want to dress my kids up at Scripture Heroes. That would be awesome. Only, I can't really sew costumes so much. Sigh... I think my kids should be the same thing year after year... it really would be easier. Can you believe your baby is growing so fast?!?! Wow. I just want my Eliza to stay snuggly and little forever. oh- and great pumpkins!
What a cute little pumpkin at the end there! I agree, you do have a sweet, cute little girl, too. :) Glad we're still in touch, Angela. If you're ever in the D.C. area, please do stop by and say hello.
What a fun Halloween you had.
