Halloween!

So Halloween this year was soo much fun!  Although I've got to say that it is a lot of work!  My kids are old enough now that they want to dress up as certain things and they want it done their way and no other.  It's kind of heart breaking in a way.  It just means that they are growing up and mom just isn't cool.  (Aren't they still too young for that?)  Brantley started the day off kind of on a bumpy start.  He didn't want to have a mustache painted on for his school party but I thought that what is captain hook without a mustache?  He needed one!  So I tried to convince him of this and drew it on.  He still didn't like it but we were out of time and late for school so I told him to just deal with it.  He told me that I didn't know what was cool and that painting his face was not cool.  Sad moment!  I'm not cool!  (I should have just wiped it off but I thought he'd warm up to it.  I was wrong).  He ended up crying most of the first half of the party and hiding.  I felt so bad.  He was embarrassed and it wasn't the normal school routine.  He warmed up after a while and had a great time the second half. 

Trick-or-treating was great though!  By the end of the day Brantley decided that he wanted the mustache and we painted it back on for the night.  Lilley and Brantley loved it!  Our neighborhood decided not to do trunk or treating so we actually got a lot of kids trick-or-treating this year.  We even ran out of candy! It really was a great day (well after the morning melt down).  Justin even dressed up!!
