Halloween(s)

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. In my opinion the best part about Halloween (besides all the free candy of course) is how it evolves with you. You start off all about the candy. Then, it becomes a goal. Aunty Keisha and I use to go out with friends for hours, trying to fill up our pillow cases. It got to the point where we didn't even really care about the candy itself. Come December most of our candy ended up in a treat bowl in the living room. A girl can only eat so many Reese's before it loses all of it's appeal, I guess. We just wanted, no needed, to fill up those bags. Next comes the  High School stage where all of a sudden you're considered too old. But is anyone ever really too old for free candy? So you knock on a few doors and convince yourself that you guys are A) hilarious and B) kind of sneaky. But you also have money and can buy your own candy. So you quickly realize that walking around begging for candy is work and definitely not worth it. Then it becomes all about the costume. Sexy or funny were the only appropriate choices for us. Hopefully y'all have a little more free range. But it doesn't take long before you realize that dressing slutty on October 31st is in fact the same thing as dressing slutty on March 2nd. Maybe even worse. Because at least a girl who dresses like a skank in March is owning it. So then it just becomes about the party. But then you get married and the thought of a couples costume makes you want to vomit. And when faced with the options of dressing up and going out or staying in and watching TV. TV almost always wins. Which makes you feel lame but not as lame as shaking 'yo thang' next to a 30 year old sexy cab driver (cause some women never get the memo) would. Then right when Halloween has just faded in with the rest of the days, BAM! You have kids and Halloween is back!

2012 - Noelle's First Halloween. We went to the Zoo Boo Bash at the Sanford Zoo and a Halloween Party.

2013 - Noelle's Second and Lincoln's First Halloween. We went to a Pumpkin Farm, Church Halloween Party, and Noelle went Trick or Treating for the first time.

I tried to get you guys to take a break from all the candy eating
and take a picture. Clearly y'all weren't having it. 

Noelle decided to be Super Girl to go Trick or Treating
and Lincoln was Mickey Mouse but didn't want to take a picture.
