Never let your kids pick your Halloween Costume....haha!

I am a school nurse for an awesome private school here in Texas. One of the fun things we do is have all the teachers and staff dress up for Halloween. In the past I have been a butterfly, a nurse, etc. This year I thought I would take the 3L's shopping with me to find a costume. Look what I came home as......a Hotdog! My kids have laughed and laughed at me as a big weenie. When I got to school the secretary, who I just adore, was a giant M&M. It was awesome. The entire day she and I ran from all the kids trying to take bites out of us.

Who says Halloween is just for kids?

The winner is...... and Halloween 2010

Landry placed second in the Spring Valley pumpkin contest. He was excited, but quickly reminded this momma that Lauren and Luke placed 1st in the past years. He wants to try again next year! Oh man, just when I thought I could retire from this pumpkin contest. ha!

Halloween 2010, Lauren wanted to be a fairy. She is a 6th grader and I wondered how long she would still dress up with her brothers and go trick or treating with our neighbors. I was so happy to hear that she was still wanting to do it this year. I love seeing her being a kid!

Star Wars was the big theme for the boys. Darth Vader Landry

Storm Trooper Luke. (He didn't want to be the obvious Luke Skywalker)

Our annual pumpkin picture in front of the house. This blow up is on its last leg and I beg Casey every year not to throw it away.

Me and my beautiful Fairy. Look how tall she is?

We always have fun meeting up with the neighbors to take pictures and trick or treat. I love the Star Wars battle going on in the back of this picture!

Halloween 2010 was so much fun and I am reminded every year of how blessed my family is to have our best friends right down the street.
