This Halloween was filled with party after party! And, since Brykn absolutely LOVES a good party, we celebrated at all of them! Brykn knew exactly what he wanted to be for Halloween from the first time we talked about it--a skunk. He did not waiver! So, after looking at all the costume shops from here to Timbucktoo, I finally found a really cute one on the Internet (good thing because he was convinced that I could sew him one).
Our first party was at a house just up the street. We didn't actually know the people hosting it, but some friends of our did, so we tagged along. It was a lot of fun! They had a huge shed/shop that they set up a bunch of food, made a haunted house inside a duck blind, and made tables for pumpkin painting. Then, they had hay rides on a wagon with a horse team, ponies for the kids to ride, and even a bunny to hold. Brykn thought the bunny was the best--they were fuzzy friends!
Our second party was Grandma Sally's party and Brykn had a great time "carting" the pumpkins. He even made one for the baby! Grandma Sally even made a cake--because every good party has cake!
Finally, our third party was the offical Halloween day trick-or-treating and party at Jeannie's house. Complete in our costumes (I was an angel...but, since my belly is sticking out, I hung a sign around my neck that said, "The DEVIL made me DO IT!") Brykn and I made it to a grand total of 4 houses in our neighborhood before he had had 100% enough of trick-or-treating. Geez!
Jeannie's house was a lot of fun, as always. Decorated to the 9's and food galore, there were 2 real highlights of the night. First, was Grandma. Dressed in her "Oldest Survivor of Woodstock...Peace Baby!" costume, she made us all laugh and laugh! Second, was when my mom knocked on the door dressed as Frankenstein with mask and all. The kids really didn't know what to think. Brykn just kept looking at her and holding on around my neck as tight as he could!

Oh boy what a grand time Halloween was this year. Brykn gets funner each year, and he played the part of "Peppy-la-Pew" with great gusto. His spraying and all. I have to laugh, boy if someone outside the family would have seen us all they would have thought we were NUTS!! An angel, with a little devilish help... and old hippie, a couple witchs, A clown and Frankie.... Holy cow what a crazy crew.
