Halloween, in these here parts, falls on Nevada Day. For Halloween-Nevada Day, the kids dressed in western wear for school and had a rootin-tootin good time celebrating this great state and our favorite spooky holid
ay!
It has been a whirlwind of activities! Harvest Festival, Pumpkin Run, Scout Bicycle Derby, Trunk or Treat, School Halloween Parties, Friend Halloween Parties and finally, the Big Day of Trick or Treating! It was just over 70 degrees and we were able to Trick or Treat 2 neighborhoods in short sleeves and flip flops. You cannot ask for anything better!
Lulu was an Angel, which isn't much of a stretch for her! Noodle really hung in there this year and actually lasted for more that five houses. She had two pieces of candy and threw up later that night. How can this sweet,
non-candy lovin' girl be mine?Ruby was planning on being an Angel Baby, but on Wednesday saw a Dora the Explorer balloon dressed as a black cat at the grocery store and declared... "I'm going to be a kitty cat like Dora!" So, we returned the Angel and pulled together a quick black cat. Viola! A happy baby! Rubes and ABBEE looked so stinkin'cute! Notice how Ruby carries her treat bag like a "purse".
George broke my heart this year! He has never been something scary before. To me, being something scary means you're growing up. I remember George wanting to be Spiderman when he was 5. It just seemed too soon, so I persuaded him to be a spider instead. But this year there was no getting around it, he was a very scary Wear Wolf! Then, the ultimate heartbreak! George decided not to use the pumpkin trick or treat bag we gave him for his first Halloween, (the one with GEORGE embroidered on it) he wanted to use ... his pillowcase!

Great costumes! That is exactly why I'm putting Nate in "cute" costumes why he's little. He'll want to be scary once he's a little bigger!
So FUN. The kids look adorable. Did you get a picture of George in his werewolf?
The girls looked adorable!! Glad it wasn't too hot for you guys.....our first year in Vegas was miserable on Halloween! So glad to know I'm not the only mom that has the heartbreak thing going on. It's sooooooo hard to let them be "them" and have an opinion. I'd love to still dress Haylee up if I could! We had TWO pillowcase girls this year!! Love you guys!
Nikki...I just love seeing your beautiful family! Lulu is so photogenic - she cracks me up, I mean, look at her in those boots and cute braids - girl, you are in trouble with that little thing! And little Ruby is just as cute!! Have a great day!
