Back when Halloween was...

When I was a kid Halloween was one of my favorite holidays. I got to dress up, stay up late, and get tons of candy. Now that I am a Mom I have to admit, Halloween really isn't the top of my list. I have to figure out costumes for my children, deal with sugar crazed kids (I am one of those mean moms that takes the candy away and only allows treats when the whining becomes too much to take!), and try to keep from eating way too much candy myself! That said this Halloween was a pretty good one. I got lucky and found Halloween costumes for both boys while shopping at the outlets in Barstow. Carter was a Sheriff and Pason was a skeleton pirate. Jared still had me up brainstorming Thursday night for his costume, but at least the boys were taken care of. We went to Jared's work Friday to trick-or-treat and then did trunk-or-treat at the church. After that was over we went to a get-together with some friends and ate munchies and played Trivial Pursuit, Men vs Women. Girls Rule! Also I love that daylight savings is later now and so we got that extra hour of sleep the same weekend as Halloween. We needed it! Here are some pics!
