Halloween 2010

A little backstory about this Halloween: Elena's Dorothy costume was 75% off last November, so I figured that this would be an easy year to have us all dress up together. On Oct. 31st 2000, Dan and I went on a date as a cow (Dan) and a farmer (me), but we haven't coordinated costumes since then. Most years, we don't even dress up. This was a lot of fun. Kevin's super cute costume was a consignment buy and then Dan and I slapped our costumes together mostly from things that were already at home.

Have I mentioned that I love him?!

Elena and Kevin are about to go trick-or treating in this pic.

Kevin cried and tried to run away at the 1st house. At the next house he hesitantly held out his bucket. Once he realized that he got candy every time, he couldn't go fast enough. At the 3rd, he ran past his sister to get to the door first. We had so much fun!

I thought this was too cute. This is what Elena wore one night while she was watching Dan light the candles in the jack-o-lanterns:

I'm excited to see what the kids will be for Halloween in 2011. This was the first year that I didn't buy at least one costume a year ahead of time. They'll get to choose next year.
