We Have a Tradition....YAY!!

I just love having family traditions and things that only your family does each holiday or for any special occasion...and so far Halloween, though it be one of my very favorite holidays, was one of the many holidays that we DIDN"T have any cool traditions that we did each year....but I heard of a family in Destinee's school class that carved pumpkins together as a family on Halloween night and so I thought I'd "borrow" the idea as our own for this year and it turned out so fun for the kids and Chris that I think we might "steal" it now and keep it for our own!! Isn't Chris's cute in the middle!!?? Anyway, that's the end of my humassive Halloween post for this year (at least I think!!) So TaTa to another Halloween and another fun year of being the coolest Halloween costume coordinating family on the block!! ;) I think that's what I'm gonna put on my Tombstone...Was part of the "Coolest Halloween Costume Coordinating Family On The Block"...okay bad idea, the machine that cuts those letters would totally konk out before it was done with that epic!! ;)

I Don't Think I Even Want to Know....

Actually that's a total lie,because I so do want to know how much it would cost doing this for 100+ Trick or Treaters!! Sorry it's hard to see but the ghost tags are all stamped and the eyes on the ghosts are brackets punched through each one of the cards, and then the cool fluffy ribbon!! This is what one of my fellow crafty/ribbon/scrapbooking/well everything ladies handed out to EVERY one of her Trick or Treaters!! CRAZY talent and time!!

This One's For You Mom!!

My mom recently sent the kids some Hallmark Halloween cards to look at and play around with and this was by far their favorite. It was a skeleton that would dance at really weird angles when you moved the mouse and they played it for the better part of an hour, and actually got along for the most part!! I KNOW, Can you believe it?? Me either!!

Even Baby Dinosaurs Need Naps...

I've always seen cute little shots of peoples' kids while they're sleeping and always thought them to be so cute but I'm always afraid that the sound of the camera or the flash would wake them up, but him with his "tail" stuck up in the air was just too cute to resist!! And lo and behold, it didn't wake him up!!

The Flinstones In All Their Glory!!

Here we are all together at the Family Fun Night held at the school the night before Halloween. A big perk for me always getting our family to coordinate is granted yes someone to recognize the effort put into it...sorry I can't help it....I'm needy!! And on this night, there were a costume contest that I know the kids and I were all very excited about..(not so much Daddy and he couldn't care any less about dressing up...but he's a good sport and does it anyway every year!! What a good daddy!!) Long story short...we got jipped and didn't win...but in our minds we sure felt like we looked like winners and we were!! ;) I hear "We Are The Champions" in the background right now just pushing us forward us to try for a victory next year. :)

Fun With Dino Hands

That would be fun with Dino (Deeno) hands, as in the Flinstones pink dinosaur dog!! Yes I think I just realized that I put my baby in a pink costume!! Anyway, this was the first time we'd put it on him since we ordered it and as you can see he is rather enthralled at these new PINK clawed things, and towards the end begins to practice getting in the dog frame of mind so as to pant at his new found play things!!

Just Clowning Around...

This is Destinee's music teacher, Ms. Downey and she's always a really good sport at Halloween times dressing up to the nines!!
