I LOVE Halloween. It is one of the best holidays with kids-lots of fun with no gifts to buy or meals to prepare. Endless candy? yes please. Now that we have two trick or treaters participating in all the festivities it is seriously double the fun, I cannot imagine once June is old enough to appreciate the festivities. First up is the annual Grant Park Halloween Parade which is hands down the most popular event that the parent network does in our neighborhood. There aren't actually any spectators in the parade its just all the kids in costume walking around the park with the high school band and fire truck leading the way followed by dinner picnics in the park. This year we had a spiderman, a pig, and a pumpkin in the house. Hank wore his costume 24/7 for about 4 days, Lucy screamed anytime the pig head came near her for a few days, and June just looked at us all like we are crazy folk.
I couldn't get it together enough this year to have costumes for Johnny and myself; however we did make it to the Mothball this year, which is another Grant Park tradition-basically think adult prom/costume party with better food and drinks. This year's theme was Hootenanny, so Johnny and I got ourselves all done up and had a night out on the town with some awesome friends--plenty of fun was had by all! I'd like to mention that the combo fu manchu/mutton chops hung around way too long until I forced him to shave them off for our family photos this past weekend threatening to shave them in his sleep if he refused.
Pig down! Probably having a fit about not being allowed to eat non-stop candy.
Back up and on the candy trail!
Seriously guys?
Our fav halloween story--not sure if it's because of our household favorite food on the front or the fact that it says the word wiener repeatedly...
See ya next year halloween! This is one holiday I'm actually sad to see go...
