I get just as excited for Halloween as my children do. I love helping them decide what they want to be and planning the costumes. Of course, I procrastinate and end up working on the costumes into the we hours the night before. I always love Ashton's costumes, he lets me help him choose what to be and I usually make his. I think the homeade costumes are the best. I was so glad Ava wanted to be a butterfly, she's been a different Disney priness for the past three years. Peyton loves to go to the Halloween stores and pick a costume, he always wants to be something grose and scary. The skeleton was as scary as I'd let him be for 1st grade. As for Mitchell, I was just impressed he kept the costume on all day. The skunk costume was warm and fit his personality perfect, he's such a little stinker!
We has a crazy day. Three different Halloween parades, a dance class party, school parties and our tradtional Halloween party at Grandma and Pa's house. The kids had so much fun running house to house with their cousins collecting candy. Looking back the day is a little blurry. I do remember my children having tons of fun and I guess that's what it's all about. So now all fun is over, my house is over flowing with candy wrappers, and I have a major halloween hangover. Can't wait to do it all again next year.

These pictures have got to be worth all of your hard work! I don't think the kids could get any cuter. It was so fun getting together last night. I'm glad we did it. I might want to borrow the skunk outfit for Lydia next year, but I hope she doesn't wear it as well as Mitch--if you know what I mean!
Amy--they look great! I am so impressed. How early did you have to start getting everyone ready??
Your kids are soooo cute! Look at those awesome costumes. The Johnson family really went all out this year. Meg thinks Ava's costume was "freakin cute".
You deserve the super-mom award! All of the costumes look awesome! Your kids are so precious!!!

You have the cutest little family! So you always mention that Ben is always out of town, what does he do? I guess I could tag you, but I'm not sure what that means, do you?
