The Halloween Mom failed...

This is the first year since I have been a mother that I didn't take the kid/kids into a photo studio

to get their pictures taken in their costumes.

Although it may not seem like it I am a little disappointed in

myself. But on the other hand I also feel a little liberated by it too.

There was just TOO much going on this fall for me to pull

that one off. I didn't think the boys would care at all

because what little boys love getting their picture taken.

And to be fair every time we attempt photo shoots

it is like a scene from "boys gone wild".

Unfortunately I have the knack for always doing the exact

opposite of what I "think" my kids want.

It was mentioned or maybe  excessively whined to me

 (its been so long who can really remember)

multiple times that pictures at the studio is what they wanted.

Oh well, once again I given my kids good fodder for

their therapy sessions as adults. The year mom didn't get professional

Halloween photos taken.  Can you sense the horror in the Shrinks office?

Hopefully my at home shots will help heal their wounds a little.

IRON MAN, CAD BANE, and BOBA FETT!
Another Star War year for the big boys.  I wonder if they will ever stray from those characters?

Mack's costume really disturbed some of the young girls at our church trunk of treat.
It kind of made me laugh a little, yep, I said it.
Sometimes I just gotta allow my boys to be boys. And what better night then Halloween!

This costume was such an ordeal to come by, I hope this boy will remember while in therapy
 how much work his Dad and I went through to obtain this costume.

This boy had Iron Man picked out months before the big day. What a fun night
to share with a toddler.

Luckily for Callan he found his  "Super Hero squad" at church.
Isn't it cute how many 3 year olds wanted to be super heros.

We invited some new but lifelong friends we have met since living here to our church party.
I think the boys had a great time!
