Oh Sew Scary

OK, let's just pretend it hasn't been over 3 years since my last post.  We've been having the time of our lives!! To be completely honest, I'm freaking out a bit with how fast time is flying.  I want so badly to just hold on to every second and make time just stand still and enjoy this amazing little family I've been so blessed to have.  I guess that's why I'm here today to just quickly post our little adventures, and help capture the essence of life.  Because I love Halloween, I'll start there and maybe some how catch up on the last three years as we go.  Growing up I wanted to be a super model/princess/actress/superwoman/doctor/singer/dance/ ok I think you get the idea. . . so everyday was pretty much dress up day:  maybe that's why I love Halloween so much--alright, alright, we all know it's for the pounds and pounds of chocolate people are just giving away.  This year I was so excited because my little man wanted to be batman.  We love to laugh and we found these lovely gems online Batdad, and Super Hero Cafe.  I have a killer batman impression if I do say so myself.

Side thought--Our mornings are pretty interesting to say the least. Let's just say not everyone is super excited to wake up and get to school in the mornings; I have to find creative, silly, dorky ways to make mornings fun and get the kids out the door without tears or drama.  So, yeah I've probably used my batman voice a little too much if you ask my kids.

Any-who, I went out bought the perfect little batman costume for Ben months before;  I was feeling pretty accomplished for not procrastinating, so I gave myself a little mental vacation and kinda forgot about the rest of the stuff like pumpkins, candy, and costumes for everyone else until the literally a few days before.  Luckily, my girls are amazing and helped me out this year.  Ben decided the night before he wanted me to make his costume--which melted my heart.  He wanted to be a shark, so I ran out and bought a gray hoodie and pants and sewed on some felt teeth, a fin, and eyes.  It turned out so cute and it was easy.  Tim seriously is my hero and such a great sport.  It started out with "hey you just have to wear a red shirt and Mario hat" to "will you please wear these awesome overalls I made and a killer stache?"  Kids loved him!  They would call out "look it's Mario!", "Hi Mario", and my favorite "Look Dad, Mario found his princess."  We all had so much fun.  Kiora won a costume contest--She made her hat from a cardboard box!  OK I'll stop talking and just let the pictures say the rest.  HAPPY Halloween!!
