Halloween 2014

These boys had an AMAZING Halloween. Highlights include: winning the costume contest (again), candy, playing games, jumping in the bouncy castles, candy, their costumes (except Radley), Krispy Kreme donuts, candy, trick-or-treating, & did I mention CANDY!! Kyler reminded me that Halloween is his favorite. He loves everything about Halloween, and Damon agrees with anything Kyler says so they loved it!!

The Tin Man 

We wanted the boys to be something coordinating, and surprisingly they agreed.  They decided to be the characters from the Wizard of Oz.  Kyler choose the Tin Man, and Kenney made a really cool ax to go with it, but we lost it the first Halloween activity we attended.  I had way too many things to keep track of.

The Scarecrow 

Damon decided to be the scarecrow and thought that I should be the gurl (it sounds so cute when he says girl) and Daddy should be the dog.  We didn't quite get the whole Dorothy and Toto thing, but he sure made a cute scarecrow!

The Lion 

This little lion did not like his costume.  He really didn't like his mane.  He screamed every time I tried to put it on.  We finally got him distracted enough with a sucker to get the mane on him and take a couple pictures!

This is the first time we tried it on...

and he continued to hate it!!

We started off celebrating the day before Halloween with a carnival at the Science Spectrum.  They had crafts, games and candy of course!

Radley had fun with the games, but mostly he just wanted candy.  He was obsessed.  If someone gave him a piece of candy he had to eat it right then.  There was nothing in his little pumpkin; it was all in his tummy!

The boys' friend Emily dressed up like Dorothy on the day of the carnival.  We tried so hard to get a picture of them all together, but this is the best we got!  It was really cute!

Halloween morning started off by going to the bank (the ladies at the bank love the boys, and the boys love getting candy).  Then we went to Krispy Kreme and got donuts!

Radley was pretty happy about his donut!

The boys had to go to the dentist after Krispy Kreme and picked up these cool shades!  And yes, they insisted on going to the dentist in their costumes.  Luckily the entire staff, including the dentist, were all wearing superhero costumes!  I am happy to report there were no cavities (thankfully we went before most of the Halloween candy)!

Our attempt of getting a picture before heading to the Museum and going trick-or-treating.

This was after our attempt to put the mane on Radley.  He was still mad at us!

We headed to the costume contest right when we got there.  We had some tough competition (see the cheeseburger on the left), but they did it again!

Radley found the shades while the boys were doing some crafts.  He thought he was cool!

I know the picture is horrible, but they were so funny coming down the slide together.  They were rolling all over each other and laughing so hard!

The boys taking a picture with Spongebob.  That is as close as Damon would get!!

Here is Kyler having a blast jumping off the slide. I don't think my kids have any fears when it comes to this kind of stuff!
