Halloween 2013

So I know I have been slacking on this post. This time of year, I may be the worst blogger EVER. I feel like we have so much going on that I forget to blog. I am really trying to remember, because I just love to go look back see "what we've been up to". But anyways, halloween is always super fun and this was actually our first halloween together since we've been married. Mitch has always worked or he has switched with someone so they could be with their kids. But this year we were actually able to dress up and celebrate together! I know it may seem "childish" but I still LOVE to dress up. I actually think it is more fun when you have spouse and can do couple costumes! This year we threw our costumes together last minute- but I thought they turned out great. I had like three events in the month of October to dress up for, so by the imd halloween came around I was tired of spending money on consumes. Luckily, I had to dress up for a murder mystery party and a lot of those accessories went with my halloween costume.

Murder mystery party-book club. I could not be more blessed by these girls!  

I already had a flapper costume- its like my go-to costume ha! And we thought making Mitch a gangster would be super easy. He pretty much had everything. And I thought we turned out pretty good. Its also fun when your spouse really gets into it :) Mitch loved dressing up and even had to get his own "accessories".

Bella is NOT a fan of dressing up-so she went as happy dog seeing as she didn't have to wear a costume. 

I guess I should tell y'all we had a party to go to- we didn't just dress up for fun, even though that would so be something we do! A couple from our life group hosted a halloween party and it was so fun. She made chili and had a fire in the backyard to roast s'mores. It was so fun!

They had the best costumes- also, its a lot funnier if you know their last name is Hines.

love this guy so much!

Halloween was also super fun for me this year with my kids at school. Now we are not allowed to celebrate halloween or dress up at school but this year halloween fell on red ribbon week (drug awareness week) and so each day is themed. We had pj day, wear red day, etc. So since thursday was halloween, they made that day- dress up as an inspirational community worker- nurse, army, doctor, etc. So it was kind of like they got to dress up and of course you always have the few where they do just wear their halloween costume ha!  Here are some pics of my kiddos.

Tell me he does not look like a mini Hunt from Grey's Anatomy?

this was one of my favorites!

my favorite little cowboy! 

So cute! It was a rough start to this year and we are still working on things, but I am really loving this group of students. Now I will still swear no class will EVER beat last years- I still miss them,  but this group is coming around :) And of course, my co-workers and I dressed up as well.

So that was our halloween! Last weekend, we went back to OBU for homecoming and had the best time! I will post on that soon!! Have a great week y'all and please pray this cold weather is not here to stay!!
