Boo.

Please allow me a moment of self-indulgence as I parade for you all our Halloween ensemble of my very own creation. That's right folks, I created these babies (no pun intended) with my own two hands (and second-hand sewing machine) I'm having a little "go-me" moment, I hope you don't mind. But I'd like to introduce you to Peter Pan and his gang (Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, Tiger Lilly, and Smee). Props to my Momma for stepping in and fashioning Ethan's Peter Pan costume, you totally took a load off me. Get ready for some seriously detailed pictures.

Our Halloween traditions are seriously what makes it the best holiday. Some of them are:

1. Homemade costumes, obviously.

2.Carving pumpkins.

3. Cheese Soup. YUM. YUM. YUM. w/homemade rolls, (we're big on the "homemade in our household)

4. Donuts and cider/hot cocoa.

5. trick or treating

6. Scary Movies (this means Practical Magic and Hokus Pokus in our household... hmm, perhaps Halloween movies is more appropriate a description)

7. Games- with Family.

8. Pumpkin Seeds!

9.Candy!

10.a coma-like sleep from the sugar crash/ activities, on Halloween night. (that's me, by the way... not the kids. I seriously slept in until 10 the next day.)

More photos from the night's festivities:

-This is what happens when it rains on Halloween and you're wearing TinkerBell slippers.

Me and my sister Meg, the scarecrow.And of course Smee ended up giving Peter Pan and Captain Hook a lift home.

Halloween just wouldn't be complete without Mitt Romney there.

Ode to my love affair with hot cocoa.

This game is AWESOME!

That's all folks... Until next year!
