Halloween was pretty uneventful at the Wallace house, thankfully. Halloween is not one of my favorite "holidays". Growing up, I was not allowed to participate in Halloween traditions because my parents were pretty adamant about it being "Satan's Holiday". So, I'm not sure I can relate to the excitement it holds for Gracie now. Oh well, it's just another reason to take pictures of my cute kids!
We did dress up as a family. Mike and I hadn't planned on it, but he decided on the way home from work to surprise Gracie. He stopped at Target and bought a Darth Vadar costume. Notice how the kids are looking at him, they're not quite sure why Darth has taken Daddy's place in our family picture!
I had a Little Red Riding Hood costume in the garage I had bought for a Halloween party Mike and I went to a couple of years ago, "pre-kids". Good thing the material was stretchy!....I think I've gained about 15 pounds since then! Little Red Riding Hood liked the muffins she was bringing little 'ol Granny...a little too much!
Gracie dressed up as Hannah Montana..notice the wig? She had worn it a couple of times prior to last night, and when it was time to dress up for "reals" it was way crazy! It's like Barbie hair...there's NO combing it!
Jacob was our sad little tiger. He had a hard time...Mike, I mean, Darth Vadar, scared the poo out of him. Jacob much preferred the pretty lady in the red cape! By the end of the night, he did finally get used to Darth, and wouldn't cry every time he looked at him. Needless to say, Jacob spent the night in our bed, so he wouldn't have any nightmares (wink-wink!).
We didn't have as many trick-or-treaters as we thought, so we have a lot of candy left over. We just need to make sure Little Red Riding Hood doesn't sneak any, because I don't think that material will stretch much more!
