Halloween Haunts

The boys were decisive when I asked what they wanted to be for Halloween this year, "I want to be a ghost and SCARE people," Kedrick responded and thankfully Brock echoed the same words. I was pleased as punch. We purchased a sheet for $2 at the thrift store and spent $1 on face paints. The boys practiced making scary ghosts sounds all month long. The big night did not dissapoint. One neighbor told Kedrick what a scary ghost he was and he told her not to be scared and explained he was just a "pretend ghost." Kedrick was quick on his feet this year and new exactly what he was doing. Brock trailed a little behind in a stupor of wonder staring down at his pumpkin in disbelief that people were just handing him all these treats. Lollipops, M&M's and KitKat's were the big hits. They topped off the night being chased around the house by a skeleton, trying to burn off their sugar high.

Such adorable little ghosts. Their makeup looks so well done. I would never have known you outfitted them for so little.

My kids love the double lollipop picture of Kedrick.

Love the queen of hearts! The ghosts are compelling. They make me want a sucker.
