The Choice is Yours! kind of.....

Fall is my FAVORITE time of year because to me fall means HOLIDAYS.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE holidays.  All of them.  Yes, I've posted about this before.  My all time favorite holiday is Halloween, which starts our our string of holidays.  I have so very many fond memories of Halloween.  When I was young it was getting to trick or treat with my cousins Chad and Courtney.  Once we tried to trick or treat on the 30th, telling our neighbors that we were not going to be home tomorrow so we were doing it early.  It didn't work out so well.  Turns out people aren't really ready for trick or treaters at 4:00 on October 30th!  Then when I was in elementary school I remember playing "Pass the Witches Broomstick" in gym class with Mrs. Ellis, singing "H-A-double L- O-W- double E-N spells Halloween", and of course the fun Halloween parties!  When I was in 4th grade I was a vampire.  I got to go home for lunch where my mom put on my make up and slicked my hair back.  When I got back to school no one knew who I was or if I was even a boy or a girl!!  It was a great costume!  I also remember my last year of trick or treating.  I was in 9th grade but went with a bunch of friends who were in 8th grade and on my cheerleading squad.  Yes, we were ALL too old to be trick or treating but it's just so hard to give up.  Anyway, one of the girls brought 6 beers (1 for each of us) and we put them in our trick or treat bags.  We did not drink them, or even intend to, it was just our way of being "bad"!  Luckily we weren't caught, looking back that was a really stupid thing to do, not to mention it made our trick or treat bags heavier than they needed to be!

Now, as an adult, we start planning our halloween costumes in July!  This year Riley is being "Billy the Exterminator" from his favorite show on A&E with the same name.  We are piecing together his costume and I'm making most of it.  However, my FAVORITE years for my kids are the years where they are too young to decide on thier costume themselves and therefore I get to do it!!  YIPPEE!  I have been searching for costumes for Kyler and have narrowed it down to a few I really like.  Vote on your favorite!!  You can vote on here, e-mail me your vote, FB me your vote, or text me your vote!  I cannot say for sure that the costume with the most votes will win though, cuz I'm going with whichever I decide :)  Afterall, I only get to choose 2 or maybe 3 times for each kid!!
