Halloween

Despite Braden's goal to make at least 10 kids cry in terror on Halloween, I think he only made 1 kid cry. Ethan. Poor kid is just scared of everything. Even though he would watch Braden put his mask on, he still was petrified of Braden in costume. And the fog. Screetching like a little girl every time our fog machine came on.

That's right - we have a fog machine. Definitely added to the spooky atmosphere.

That's Braden in costume and Blythe dressed up as Ariel. Nice hair, huh? I was a little worried she'd have pink hair for a week (and Blythe was hoping she would), but it came out after just 2 shampoos. Braden was pretty scary looking. Notice his Freddy Krueger hand with the knives. Yikes!

Although Ethan was scared at our house, he did enjoy trick or treating around the neighborhood. He was slow compared to his sister RUNNING from house to house. Good thing his friend Luke went slow with him.

Blythe was really into the whole Halloween experience. After she finished trick or treating around the neighborhood, she wanted to sit on our porch and hand out the candy. Later we found out she liked doing that because she was eating the candy she was supposed to be passing out. Oh well. We ran out at one point and then just started using hers anyway.

Brynn made it through a short bit of trick or treating. She didn't get any candy, but looked cute in her ladybug costume.

Overall, it was a really good and really fun Halloween. How about one more pic of the 3 kiddos in costume.
