Our neighborhood gets into the spirit of Halloween. One house was SO decked this year! They had THE creepiest window decorations, bones spread out across the lawn, and this crazy looking black picket fence along their sidewalk. In fact, their decorations were so intriguing that earlier in the month, Griffin was riding his trike down the sidewalk, and he was so caught off guard by all the cool stuff to look at, he ran his trike right into that black picket fence. No permanent damage was done...I don't think.
It helps that we have a TON of kids, all ages, in our neighborhood. So on any given Halloween night, there are hundreds of families strolling up and down the sidewalks.
We are a friendly neighborhood...and allow outsiders in ;-) Like our best Georgia friends!! It wouldn't be Halloween without Griff's BFF, Wyatt and Brady's BFF, Callen :-)
Here are some pics from our Halloween 2013!
I managed to score this race car driver costume at a consignment sale a few months ago. I think I paid $6 for it. When I bought it, I thought, no way, no how is he going to keep a helmet on the night of Halloween, so Bri came up with the idea to get him one of those "redneck NASCAR baseball hats." Well, it just so happens that Bri was heading to a NASCAR race a few weeks after that idea came about. Yea...turns out the hat ended up costing almost 3 times the amount of the costume. Oh well!
Griff & Wyatt!
Check out the hair under that hat. He needed a haircut REAL BAD...but we decided to let it grow before Halloween, hoping it would give off the redneck mullet look.
Getting the little tiger ready for his first Halloween!
Rawr.
Baby Callen! His Mama was "walking him out" last Halloween...and here he is! Almost "1"!!
Brady chewing on a glow stick. Mom of the year.
These 2 are in perpetual motion when they are together. I'm shocked we captured a picture of them where there wasn't a blur.
Callen the little mouse...cutest get-up EVER!
Just a Mama, a baby tiger, and some booze...
It's like a rite of passage...getting his first (and only!) piece of candy. Our pediatrician lives down the street from us and I told her a little boy handed him a bag of gummy worms. She was like, No, No, Brady...I don't want to see you in my office tomorrow :-)
Pretty much owning this trick-or-treating thing :-)
Taking it all in!
It was unusually HOT for Halloween this year. Here I was, thinking I was a genius for buying, what appeared to be a "race car costume/ snow suit" and poor Griffin was sweating 15 minutes into trick-or treating. But clearly, collecting the loot was MUCH more important.
Brady was a gem, as usual.
Can't wait to watch my two boys have a blast next year on Halloween!
