Halloween 2014 was a blast!

| Evil Queen having an evil laugh |
 |
| She's too sweet to be too authentic |
 |
| I love how her bestie Esme just raids the family costume box that morning and throws together what she can find. |
 |
| Eli was real specific on his costume requirements. Luckily a trip to the DI filled them all. |
 |
| Adren is the character from "Arrow", Oliver Queen. I found his jacket from DI, and was able to cut it up and sew some fabric to make it to his specifications, leather quiver and all! |
All four of my babies at the school parade!
I was happy Zeke was giddy to wear one of Adren's costumes from years past. The problem is that this did not come in kid size so I had to alter it for Adren in 3rd grade, then chop off some more for little Zeke in kindergarten. I thought he looked mighty!
Since Halloween fell on a Friday this year we thought it would be fun to have the annual family Halloween party on the 31st~ trick-or-treating and all! It worked out great!
Jon decked out the garage for the kids and created a spooky play list.
So much excitement as the family arrived!
I'm the tooth fairy in pj's and a tool belt of coins.
The big arrivals!

| Adren and friends ready to gather candy! |

| Full house! |

After a dinner of soups and goodies it was time for trick-or-treating! Looking back at this moment, it would have been in our best interest to get a plan together as far as groups sticking with groups, a system to keep track of each other. After all, we're sending almost 30 kids out into a foreign neighborhood, in costume, in the dark!
(I think Shafer and Lindsey and family arrived a little later when the craziness hit, but I can still make out those Taylor boys in these pics!)
 |
| I couldn't help but think of all these babies grown up and one day looking back on this moment! |
The weather cooperated beautifully. It was warm and dry~ and a sunset to remember!
At one point us sista's ventured out to watch the tail-end of the Thriller dance put on by my neighborhood in a cul-de-sac. We saw random kids from our group- no one could find each other, some were on their own. But amazingly, all returned and were accounted for.
 |
| Too much candy! |
A Halloween to remember!
And here are the kids the next morning having breakfast:
