Halloween, O' what a night!

Holidays are challenging in the Grimes household.  I have a real problem with building up events, it can never be just a night in my head it has to be the night they remember forever and of course the kids are never cooperative with anything that I plan.  This Halloween was no exception, Finn refused to eat his dinner in a normal time frame (think 2 hours for 5 chicken nuggets and 4 apple slices) and Mayson Elizabeth's Halloween garb was not warm enough for the weather so I had to make her a costume in the span of a few minutes!  By the time that we actually left the house Mayson Elizabeth was not pleased to say the least and Finn had shed enough tears to cause dehydration.  Here are a few shots from tonight, while they are not good, I feel pleased that we made it out the door and both of my children are still alive, at least for now.


Leaving the house a mere 2 hours after Finn sat down for dinner
A slightly sinister Buzz Lightyear and an adorable Ghost! 
Buzz's first stop
Loving that strangers are giving him chocolate which is his favorite food

This is right before Finn told the lady that made homemade popcorn balls that he doesn't like that kind of popcorn. Wow, I could have killed him and to make matters worse she lives 2 houses down from ours.  While Finn may not like that kind of popcorn, John loved every last bit.  
My tired little Ghost 
The big kids down the street that Finn claims are "the coolest"!

Mayson waving good bye.
