. halloween 2010 .

we typically don't do a whole lot for halloween.  obviously we have small children still, so it has not at all become anything for us, which i'm ok with.  i can do without it.  what i can't do without is the candy at the end.  my back side could do without the candy, but not without all the walking we did to get the candy.  let's not go there. 



the fun part this year was letting karsyn pick what she wanted to be.  she has said for months now that she wanted to be a cat.  easy enough.  and since i like things to be all matchy-matchy, we made mykah a mouse. 

i don't think i'm biased at all, but i'd say they were the cutest cat and mouse you'd ever seen.  now, the mouse?  she was definitely the slowest mouse i'd ever seen.  there was no scurrying, even though she was saying "run. run."  as we approached the houses while trick or treating.  she must have heard the other kiddos.

friday night we had a birthday party for one of karsyn's favorite friends.  they got to dress up for that and had a blast.  here she is with her besties ...

the party was so much fun.  neither cat nor mouse wanted to leave.  then sunday came.  karsyn couldn't wait for halloween.  i think she asked about every 2 seconds if it was "halloween yet?!?"  and where the "festibal" was that we were going to.  we had a very lazy sunday. that's what you do on holidays right?  then we got all gussied up again and headed to our church for the fall festival (which is always insane) and then we met some friends to go trick or treating.  we didn't get home until 9:00 and the girls passed out.  they had a blast though.  i'm waiting for them to wake up and ask for candy for breakfast!  such is life, right?

p.s.  no i didn't eat all the candy, but i must say i did steal the one and only almond joy out of the bucket.
