Halloween 09

Two weeks ago, the kids went to Braden's birthday party, which also happened to be a costume party. I was so excited that they would get extra use out of their costumes and be able to wear them more than once. Of course, Mason loved the dinosaur costume. He picked it out and loved to pet it and hug it, just didn't want to really wear it. Anytime we would put it on him, he would wear it for a few minutes and would take it off.

I finally decided that we should return it, especially if he isn't going to wear it. We did this a week before Halloween and I didn't know what costume to get for him. His friend Braden was a transformer, and so we asked if he wanted to be a transformer. I don't really think he understood what that meant, but he liked his costume and picked the yellow one, which happens to be Bumblebee. I think it's funny considering he has never even seen the show or movie, but just knows what it looks like from playing with his friends.

After we got Mason dressed in his costume, it was Taylor's turn to put her lady bug costume on. As I tried to dress her, I realized that is was a little tight and didn't fit anymore. I was so bummed, but atleast she was able to wear it once. Luckily, we had two cheer leading uniforms, Baylor and A&M, that we had received as gifts. I was a nice Mom and put her in the Baylor costume and she looked so cute.

First, we went to our church's Harvest Festival. It had a ton of games,food and candy. I have to mention the food, because each year it is so good (popcorn, cotton candy, baked potatoes, hot dogs, frito pies, and cinnamon rolls). Mason was so excited, he couldn't stand still. He loved the hay ride and the bounce houses.

Afterwards, we headed over to our friends sister's house to go trick-or-treating. Mason loved walking door to door with his best friends and even wanted to go inside each house that opened their door. All in all, it was a memorable night.
