For the second year in 21 years we will not be celebrating Halloween. Jake decided last year he was too old for all the Halloween festivities. He didn't want to dress up, trick or treat, or even carve a pumpkin. I was a little sad at first, but that meant I wouldn't gain ten pounds from eating his unwanted candy. Instead, he wanted to turn all the lights out and watch a scary movie on Halloween. So, we did not carve a pumpkin, we did not decorate, we didn't hand out candy, we just "skipped" Halloween. I'm okay with skipping Halloween, as long as my kids NEVER want to skip Christmas! I will always decorate for Christmas and have a tree! Here's a few pics of the last two Halloween's we did celebrate.
Jake's favorite part! 2009

Did you expect anything but?
Some of the costumes I remember my kids wearing over the years were, Tyler - Shredder, Barney, Power Rangers (a different color for several years!), an Indian, ninja. Jake - pumpkin, Shrek, Michael Meyers, Scream, skeleton, monsters!
Happy Halloween!
I can't express what a privilege it was and still is being apart and sharing the fun of making memories with my nephews in all of there holidays and activities. Not having the blessing of my own kids and/or family, it means alot...I just want to say Thank you for letting me be apart of yours.
