Happy Halloween!

We had a really fun time for Halloween this year with the kids. They both were happy and I think they had fun as well. Ryder is still a Spiderman freak and my mom happened to find his costume for $11 one day. He was SO excited!! I had to sneak it away from him and hide it until Halloween because he didn't want to part with it. We decided to make Brooklyn into a little Fairy Princess. My sister in law Whitney was amazing and awesome; she made her little skirt for us and it turned out way cute on her. Nils is the paint master so he did the paint on Ryder's face. Ryder was a bit hesitant at first, but then went for it and loved it after. They both turned out cute I think and we had fun! We did the common Trunk-Or-Treating and games at our church and Ryder had fun with that. He thought it was neat he was getting so much candy. Brooklyn dug the smarties! In the picture below Ryder was trying to be all serious and big like Spiderman and I was trying hard not to laugh of course. Here Ryder is shooting his Spiderman webs. It is cute when he does it! I wil have to try to get it on video one day. His fingers go just like Spiderman's and he makes a sound to go with it. Brooklyn then tried to hit him with her wand so I had to hold her back. She didn't quite know what to think of the skirt at first, but sure liked her wand as a weapon on Ryder. As cute as she is, she still has a mean streak for sure. LOL!
This has to be my favorite of Brooklyn with her face expression! CUTE! Not sure what she was doing, but it sure made for a cute picture.
We had a good night of trick or treating to grandparents houses and everything, but after a bit they both were fighting to get their costumes off. Ryder has already asked though everyday if we will paint his face, color his hair, and put on his costume so he can go trick or treating. I told him when he turns four we can go again. I really am not a Halloween kind of person, but the kids make it all worth it! We had a blast!
