Halloween 2008

Here is the part of the family that dressed up for Halloween. To my credit, Shay didn't decide to dress up until about 1 hour before we left for the trunk or treat. So I didn't really have enough time to throw something together for myself. I'm okay with it though...I already have an idea for next year, so I'm ahead of the game.

Before the other pictures, I have to tell a funny story. Nicholas, the day before Halloween, asks me, "Mommy, what are you going to dress up as for Halloween?" Me: "I'm going as myself." Nicholas: "No mommy, what costume are you going to wear?" Me: "I'm not dressing up." Nicholas: "Well, Kerstin is dressing up." I knew I was in trouble when he caught me not dressing up like his cool Aunt Kerstin. It made me giggle, what a smart kid. Next year, I'll be dressing up for the amusement of my son.

We had a great Halloween. After the trunk or treat we went over to our friends Halloween party and to see their house that they have been decorating for the last couple of months and keeping us all in suspense. They did a great job. Then we headed up to Shay's parent's home to spend the night and pass out candy there since they were out of town. Not one trick or treater came by. So we watched (fell asleep to) Indiana Jones. Nicholas had so much sugar in him he was bouncing off the walls. We finally decided to just go to bed and once we did, Nicholas fell asleep within probably 10 seconds. It was a great day!

I promise (Grandma's) there are more pictures coming. I took all 404 off the camera tonight. All of those will not be going up, but there are some very cute ones. Hopefully I can get some more up tomorrow.
