halloween

{Sam's first halloween as a dragon. [pictured below with cousin Boone as a duck.] Definitely THE cutest little dragon I've ever seen. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the back of his costume!! It was so cute with the little spikes and tail.}

So Halloween this year was interesting . I got both boys' costumes a couple months ago and was so excited to dress them up together, until I started noticing that Jack wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

Like.....nothing.

I tried to get him to try on his costume (a turtle) weeks in advance but he never would. We tried and tried....and tried some more. I even told him he didn't have to be a turtle, that he could dress up as anything in the whole wide world. Handy Manny? Diego? Curious George? NOPE. Then it was Halloween morning and he was still declaring that he "didn't want to go to Halloween".

I finally decided to just let it go and let him have fun however he wanted to. Who cares if he didn't want to dress up and go trick-or-treating? It was raining and freezing cold so I'm actually glad he didn't want to! And he had a blast handing out candy to all the kids at the door instead.

Anyway, so that's why I don't have any pictures of him this year. You gotta love that kid. I'm sure next year will be better. And hey, at least I have darling pictures of his first halloween and last year's, too. And, of course, I had my little Sammy to dress up this year :)

{Kurt as a mad scientist and me as a witch. We didn't decide to dress up until the night before. Pretty good, right?}

{sister as Spiderman and brother as This Guy. Hilarious!}

{my other brother with his girlfriend surprised us and dressed up as....US! It was so funny. She wore my wedding dress and he found an old tux. We had some good laughs :) Then they changed into their real costumes - Woody and Bo Peep. Awwww........}
