Halloween Through the Years

I love this time of year. By the time the end of August hits, I find myself looking forward to Fall; pulling out my Autumn decorations, the warmer clothing, and I begin to anticipate Halloween. I love Halloween. At our house we start planning our costumes on October 1 (if not before). I was thinking of the different costumes the kids have worn over the years and I thought it would be fun to post pictures of each year. Of course, true to form, there are a couple of years in which the pictures are nowhere to be found.

2007
I remember taking a few pictures but I can't find them. My heart just wasn't into the holiday last year, as my dad passed away two days before Halloween. Brittany dressed up as Pippi Longstocking, Brooklyn was a witch, Damon was a pumpkin and Brent was Nacho Libre. I was going to be a mermaid but I didn't get my costume finished, and I really didn't care, I didn't participate in any of the usual festivities.

I love the Ward Halloween party,I usully pile the kids in the car and take them to all the Grandmas' houses, I like taking the kids trick or treating and handing out candy, I get really excited when the kids dump out their loot and start digging in (I like to help them eat it). I like the class parties at school and that the kids get to dress up for school, etc.

Fun! I'm so lame because last year we had just arrived for a visit in Nova Scotia so I didn't have anything for Isaiah...so he went as an undercover cop. Oh so creative.

Too cute. Isn't it amazing to look back at pictures and wonder where did the time go? Your children sure have grown quickly. You did great with the costumes, they look so cute in them.

GiveAway!!

I'm doing this giveaway just for fun. I'm not trying to sell or promote anything. I'm on an apron kick lately. I've come across so many cute ideas and I decided to make some of them. A week or so ago my good friend Liz mentioned she'd won an apron in a giveaway somewhere else. Thats where my "inspiration" comes from. I'm just a big copycat, but at least I admit to it. Here is the giveaway item: Please keep in mind that I made this, it did not come from a store so if you become the owner there will be no tags. I consider it to be a one-size-fits-all due to the fact that the ties are extra long. Here are the details: *Contest begins at 7am (Mountain Standard time) Thursday, November 12. It will end Sunday, November 15 at 8pm (same timezone). Winner(s) will be posted at my convenience on Monday. *Anyone living in the continental U.S., Canada, including PEI, or Mexico can enter this giveaway. It doesn't matter if you and I are friend or foe. You don...

Bogger Messed Up My Give Away

Image
Blogger did some maintenance work this past week and during that time a lot of people had a lot of problems with their blogs. Posts disappeared, page layouts were rearranged, comments lost, etc. Sadly, my blog was one that got messed up. Half of the entries to my baby shoe give away are gone and although Blogger says they'll be recovered, that has yet to happen and I don't know how long it will take. So, in order to make this give away fair, I think we need to start over. Sorry, I don't know what else to do. Contest will end Tuesday, May 17 at noon (Utah time). Here are the details and the rules (again!): (Note: If you posted about this give away on your blog last week, you don't have to re-post, just leave a comment saying you already posted.) Here are the shoes. I'm not much of a photographer, but the shoes are brown with light pink ribbon. They are a size extra small. They should fit a foot up to 4 inches in length. Maya is 5 1/2 months old and this size fits her...
