Halloween 2010

Honestly I am doing really good getting this post up so fast.  A week after Halloween, that is pretty good for a mom with two CrAzY kids, way to many projects on the agenda and a husband that has been traveling non-stop for the last two months.

So, the Halloween festivities began a week early for the Schneider family and it was non-stop until Halloween night.  Monday..gymnastics party, Wednesday…neighbor party, Thursday…school fall festival, Friday…Noah’s Ark Festival and Social Butterfly Halloween party, Saturday… Halloween party with the cousins and the finally Halloween Day.  Wow!! That is a lot of Halloween celebrations for two little ones (and way too much candy). 

So what were the kids for Halloween.  Well,if you know anything about me, I am a very indecisive person.  Unfortunately, I think my kids may have picked up this trait.  Kayla and Christian could not decide what to be for Halloween.  I bought them both new Halloween costumes (Batgirl and Batman) but being the same thing each day was BORING.  So, multiple costumes were worn.  Thank goodness we have a variety of dress-up outfits.

Monday, Kayla dressed up as a cat for gymnastics party(no picture sorry). 

Wednesday, Kayla wore her Halloween pants that I made.   

Thursday, Kayla was a pink Batgirl (no picture sorry).

Friday, Kayla dressed up as a doctor and Christian was a tiger. 

Saturday it was black Batgirl and Batman.

  

Sunday, there was a beautiful princess and a fierce dragon in our presence.

Wow…that makes my head spin thinking about all the dressing up.

So enough about the costumes…the candy.  Oh my goodness. I don't know how two little kids could get so much candy.  I let the kids enjoy going through there mounds of candy.  However, soon after they were in bed, I raided the KitKats and Snickers and then bagged a majority of the candy up for troops in Iraq. Yes I did keep a few items for the kids (I am not that cruel).

(and this was only two of the buckets of candy.  We had 4 FULL buckets.)

 

I am glad that Halloween is over (well, kind of).  From now until the end of the year will be CRAZY.  The Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are my favorite time of the year.  But, the day after Halloween is the beginning of the most hectic time of the year.
