Halloween

Halloween like most things these days seemed to creep up on us.  In September, I had to dress as a nerd for a dress up day at school, so early on Delaney decided to be a nerd for Halloween. On the other hand, the boys had a difficult time this year and I also wasn't feeling all that inspired.  A few weeks prior to Halloween, I found a Navy Seal costume at the Wal-Mart in Sand Springs.  I took a picture, and showed it to the boys.  Bingo! We had a winner!  Because of fall break, I didn't return to Sand Springs the following week, but I did managed to hit three other Wal-Marts, only to find no sign of the Navy Seal costume.  By the time, I finally made it back to Sand Springs, costumes were in limited supply.  Not thrilled but at the same time unwilling to go costume shopping, they agreed to be an Army man.  At the last minute though, I was inspired by a Pinterest photo.  Jax kept saying, "I want to be something where I can change costumes and get more candy." 
Obviously, he gets more than enough candy wearing just one costume, but I thought this costume would be perfect for him.  I approached both of the boys with the idea. Baylor wanted no part of it.  At first, Jax was a bit hesitant but then he agreed.  Best of all, his costume didn't cost me a penny and I think he made a pretty cute little hobo.  He was very pleased.







 
As usual, we enjoyed a our share of Halloween events. 
 
And boys... be thinking, what you want to be for next year. It will be here again before we know it.
