Halloween

Halloween this year was incredibly busy, but a ton of fun. The kids were able to wear their costumes to school, which they thought was a nice change from their uniforms. They had a parade at school followed by a talent show. Donovan was backstage handling all the CDs and Alayna played a piano piece, Ode To Joy.

We also had two new additions to our family for Halloween, little T, who is 2 3/4 years old, and baby A, who is 9 months old. They have been with us for a week now and we'll just see how long they'll stay.

The kids did a lot of Trick-or-Treating between our neighborhood and Grandma and Grandpa Burgener's neighborhood. Their pillow cases are sooooo full of candy, it's going to be awhile before they eat, or Jeff and I, eat all that candy.

For the break down of costumes: Donovan created his own costume this year, he was a Modern Day Hero. Notice the Red, White, and Blue hair coloring (mostly red though) and the knight's sword. Sean had to be a Skeleton Grim Reaper. The chest plate could ooze blood by pumping the attached heart. Very gross!!! Alayna was a Vampiress. We went with the white hairspray, because black would have taken forever to get out of her hair. Matthew was Iron Man, his favorite super hero right now. He didn't want to wear the mask because it was hard to see out of, so we sprayed his hair red. Little T was a Ninja. He spent most of the day trying to kick things. Baby A was a Pink Leopard. The hood was so big, you can't even see her face in this picture. As for Jeff and I, we didn't dress up this year. Although, Jeff did wear his bright orange "I Don't Do Costumes" shirt to work.

So, that was our Halloween. We hope that everyone else had a great and safe day.
