Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I know many people find that hypocritical, since I'm a Christian, but I don't care. I don't see Halloween as the "devil's holiday" or something. In my opinion, every day is God's day- the devil doesn't get any. To me, Halloween is my way of scoring free candy (for my kids, of course), and getting to be the crazy mom off
Toddlers and Tiaras without looking BSC. Not that I chase the kids around the house with botox- they're not old enough for that yet. Maybe next year.
Kidding. Probably. Of course!
But really, every year the girls want to be the most girly thing imaginable. Let's take a stroll down memory lane, shall we?
Trinity:

| 2nd Halloween- I got to do make up. Again. |
|
1st Halloween- I got to pick the outfit, and do some make up. |
 |
| 3rd Halloween- Again, make up. |
 |
| She picked the costume, but I got to do make up. This is the best T&T look I've come up with thus far. |
 |
| She picked the costume, but again....make up! |
 |
| More make up.... |
 |
| This year- Again, MAKE UP! :) |
Madison, on the other hand, hasn't really let me get all T&T on her- until the last few years...
 |
| 1st Halloween- she rubs her face too much for make up. |
 |
| She has a tiny bit of make up on- not much though. |
 |
| Can Dora actually wear make up? Probably not.... |
 |
| We did this before Black Swan was cool. |
 |
This year- lots of make up. We'll ignore the fact that Rapunzel probably didn't wear any.
|
As for Mason....unfortunately, he doesn't qualify to be the in the T&T bunch, mainly because if I put make up on him, Scott will kill me. That would be unfortunate. But just for giggles....
 |
| 1st Halloween- a very manly bat. |
 |
| This year- equally manly Lion. Rawr. |
We went trick or treating this year, as we do every year. Even though I'm an "experienced" parent, I still learn something new every year. For instance:
- Even though your 6 year old acts big and bad, and swears she's not scared of anything, the minute a 14 year old jumps out of a bush in a Dracula costume, she will nearly pee herself.
- Attempted breaking and entering is cute when you're 1 and trying to get more candy. I'm fairly certain the courts still look down upon it when you're older.
- If you hold a door open long enough, or set a bowl of candy behind you, the 1 year old will attempt to get in your house.
- Walking around with 2 ft of wig on your head will wear a sister out.
- Adults now have to get drunk in order to take kids trick or treating (true story, one gal was handing out spiked hot chocolate and apple cider to the parents).
- Toddler who tries to run from house to house, will eventually bust face on the sidewalk....and then get up and keep trying to run.
- Trick or Treating + 3 kids= 2 exhausted parents and 3 children on a sugar high. Bad combo.
All and all, it was an enjoyable evening. I love Halloween, but I'm happy it only comes once a year! I'm already planning costumes for next year- should be fun! Perhaps botox will be used next year?
Again, Kidding. Probably.

Ooh, we got spiked cider at a house! mmm
The people in front of us had some heavy whiskey or something- I shouldn't be able to smell liquor like that, lol.
What if there was a roofie in it? I don't trust anyone :(
We went to the rich people's houses (shhh) in a big gated neighborhood. Our friends handed our chili dogs and beer. Also had water and chips set out too. And that silly bowl of candy was just left by the end of the driveway.
I did spend a good amount of time wondering if I just never noticed the adults drinking when I was a kid or if this was a new or Floridian tradition.
