Halloween Costumes - the preview (oooh aaah)

A few years ago I got smart and started taking pictures of the kids' costumes ahead of the big day. It worked like a charm because I simply forget to do it on Halloween. There is too much candy, too many parties, too much trick or treating to do on the thee day. Then I'm left with the task of forcing them back into there sticky costumes to satisfy my photo needs. And who wants that? no one. not a single one.

Ethan chose the "Pit Crew"



I love the poses that they come up with for themselves. Like this: Chin resting on drill and scratching head. Awesome.

Mathew chose the ninja.


We paired this outfit with the deadliest of his blue church socks.

Megan wanted the black cat. Then we bought all the stuff for it. Then she wanted to be an angel. then she wanted to be a princess. So she was a black cat.




Laney started the day as Dorothy. She liked it well enough, but I had totally forgotten that when you live in Kansas, there are going to be alot of Dorothys. Also, it was a little chilly for bare legs.



So we dug out the monkey costume of Halloweens past! It was perfect and she really loved the banana necklace. Who wouldn't?



Not a bad year. Everyone was warm and full of sugar.
