Cody was the only one that absolutely KNEW what he wanted to be! In fact, he wanted Rick to be his twin. 
Chase finally decided on a vampire, but was adimate about NO makeup! 
Paige decided on Raggedy Ann. I loved her costume...the sad thing is, these days not a lot of people know who she is! Only the grown ups! 
And Jordan, finally decided on a flapper girl, eventhough she had no idea what that was! 
As for me.....you guessed it...Strawberry Shortcake! Our Halloween festivites always start with trick-or-treating on the square in downtown McKinney. This year they did it on Friday. The kids LOVED this because that meant.....getting out of school early, getting to put on their costumes twice, AND MORE candy!!! The square is so much fun...crazy and crowded, but fun! The kids get to trick-or-treat to all the shops and restaurants. The owners are all dressed up and make it so fun for the kids.
We went with our neighbors this year and had a great time! 
We were also able to catch up with our sweet Maddie....she was so cute in her costume. She loved putting her little bucket out for candy....but liked eating it more! It was great having Halloween be on a Saturday! We had the whole day to get ready! We did squeeze in Cody's soccer game, but also had time to carve pumpkins, decorate the front of the house and make our FEAST of FOOD! What would Halloween be without the "Halloween Buffet"? Rick was busy carving pumpkins with the kids at our friends house....the kids worked hard picking out their designs, but the dad's seemed to be the most dedicated to that project!
I think the pumpkins turned out great! 
Davey stopped by to celebrate with us and became my right hand man in the kitchen! His job.....Halloweenies! Those little suckers take a lot of time to make....he was on top of it though. Paige was my decorator. She made sure the table looked just right, with all the labels where they should be!
The food was so good and our table looked amazing! Thanks for helping me guys!
Of course dad was there to walk the neighborhood with us. It was sad not having mom here this year...MOM - we all missed the blonde wig, crazy hat, and purple robe! Jordan was looking forward to friends coming over and then watching scary movies! She has such a great group of friends. They all looked great too!
Like all kids do, they had to dig through their bags to find the best candy! The rest of the night they were up watching Gremlins....I guess I didn't realize that movie was very scary, but all we heard downstairs were screams. I guess it didn't help when Rick secretly went up the stairs and scared them all half to death! I loved it! The house was packed with kids and friends - it was a blast! The kids favorite part after getting all their candy is sorting it all out and "trading." This year they also weighed their candy!!! Each of their piles were atleast 10 POUNDS. That makes me sick just thinking about it! We had a great night and can't wait for next year. I already know what Rick and I are going to be. (I gave you this year off babe...get ready for next year!)
