Running from the Law: The Ghost of Halloweens Past

The Ghost of Halloweens Past

There's nothing like a major holiday to make you realize just how much time has passed and how much your kids have grown in the last year. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, so I love looking back at the photos I've taken of the kids on Halloween these last three years. I can't believe this is Mac's fourth Halloween and Mim's second. Mac is so incredibly excited about Halloween this year and he got to pick out his own costume for the first time (I'm still working on it). In St. Louis, all the kids tell jokes to get treats, so we've been working on his joke, which I'm still not sure he understands. I didn't realize how hard jokes are for little kids because of all the double meaning and references to things he doesn't understand (vampires, ghosts, Frankenstein, witches, etc.). Does anyone else tell jokes where you live? Anyway, these photos are just killing me with how little they both were. I'm already thinking about how much bigger and more opinionated they'll be next year! I need another baby. I'll be sure to take a million photos of the kids tomorrow and give you a full recap of their adventures next week. Fingers crossed the cold rainy forecast is wrong.

  15. This joke business sounds stressful! Everywhere I have lived (5 different places) it's just a standard "trick or treat!" How does the joke thing even work with a big group of kids?! Anyway, baby Mac is so so adorable! Where has the time gone?!

  16. I love, love, LOVE the Mac & Cheese costume! That is awesome!

    They sure have grown though & I'm happy to see that Mac liked his devil costume more than the Mac truck one...which was also adorable. Tee hee!
