friday fotos: because at least i'm putting halloween pictures up before christmas

I know they're two weeks late(!)....but here's a look at Trick or Treating for the boy squad and I.
E wanted to be "a ladies man". I'm serious!--that was HIS idea! Here was my idea of what that type of dude looked like.....



Z thought he might be too old to go trick or treating this year, but I wasn't going to hear any of that! I told him he was INTEGRAL to our family Halloween and would need to help with his little brothers. He got on board with that idea pretty quickly :). Here he is being the nerd....


L was a tiger for the second year in a row. At least the costume actually fit him this year! And little J was a cutie pie pirate. He wouldn't wear the eye patch, but he DID carry the bread hook attachment for my Kitchen Aid around most of the day. I talked him into letting me hold that so he'd have two hands for his candy bag. Love these little guys so much! (the big guys too :)!)
And here we all are doling out candy from the back of our van. I realize I look like I'm made of wax in this picture--but you'd look like that too if you'd spent two whole days in skin tight leather, a three pound wig, and four inch heels!

And that's all I got for ya sistahs! (and a few of you loyal bruthas too!). Just so you have something to tell me...what candy did YOU steal most out of your kids' trick or treat bags?
~Happy Weekending!~

I stole all their little Twix bars and a few of the tiny Snickers bars too.I was SORELY DISAPPOINTED that the shape of Wonka's Bottlecaps got changed. They're not as good any more :(.

And once again my boys got some weird stuff in their bags---like hand sanitizer and toothbrushes. At least no one got a rock!

Fun to see your group. T

OH the chocolate stuff of course, Twix, Snickers, and Milky Ways..... That's the best part of 'trick or treating' with a toddler.

Speaking of weird, though I was secretly happy about it, an old man at our trunk or treat handed out little gala apples. Really? At least Quincy actually ate it!

HouseMama said...

I don't think I've ever really confessed to taking the candy before and now it'll be on the WWW. Ouch! OK...Snickers, Twix, Butterfingers, 100 Grand, Reeses. I think that's all. Tee hee. And can you believe they still have another 4 or 5 pounds of it in the pantry. The neighbors were very generous.

Isn't wearing a wig the most fun ever!?!

I'm loving the costume choices! And that tiger is stinking adorable!

My little one wasn't too keen on t-o-treating this year, but out of the stuff she did get.. I swiped the Milky way, the Starburst, and the 100 grand.. Yummy stuff.. :)

DOTS..make your teeth stick together, but hey...RED is best...they need to be divided by color...do I have control issues?!? Very possibly!
I could care less if your numbers "dip!"
I think you're A-MAZING! As an over-the-top devoted mom...a phenomenal writer...
And rules are made to be broken...then it's called RISK! ;0)
I wrote you a loooonnnnggg time back about the joy that "Sweep the Leg" has brought to our not-so-cultured-at times, family of FIVE boys.
If you have the time, and go to Tommymom.com on or after Wed., Nov. 18th,and you'll see why.
We've howled! Know that you bring inspiration and humor to many people...including total strangers! ;0) p.s. Sons #1-#3 think you're "the coolest mom ever!" ;0)

Sissy said...

I love your smile in this shot! And you must explain what outfit required the leather pants....

Tamie said...
