Halloween 2011

What is greater than dressing up and getting copious amounts of candy?  For these kids, nothing!
The boys went back and forth for weeks trying to decide what they wanted to be for Halloween.  We looked in books and online and there was always something new that caught their eye.  Finally Alex decided he wanted to be Luigi.  We got his costume and he was so excited that it came with a hat and a mustache!

Austin wanted to be a ninja (surprise, surprise) but that still took a little more looking.  You would not believe how many different ninja outfit are out there.  I finally got him to pick one and we got that ordered as well.

Keira has really been into ladybug girl books and wanted to be ladybug girl.  My sister's little girl was a lady bug for Halloween one year and she let us borrow her costume.  Keira loved it.  We found her some little ladybug boots to finish off the look and the best part is they are rain boot so she can wear them in bad weather after Halloween too. 

The kids had a blast going trick or treating and seeing friends and cousins.  When they got home we tried to get a picture of all of them together but this was the best I could get.  Keira is a gangster, Austin always the ninja, and Alex the Lion is squinting. . .  oh well it makes me smile every time I look at it :).
