Halloween 2014

I love Halloween. I mean, I really love it. I love decorating, I love the spooky movies, I love the costumes, and I absolutely love seeing all of the trick-or-treaters. They are just so darn cute! This year was especially fun because we had a little guy to dress up! We didn't do too much with him this year since he really doesn't know what's going on. Next year though...we will go all out on Halloween!

Being an elementary teacher, I get a little more of a kick out of Halloween as well. Our school has a Halloween parade that the K-4th graders participate in. The 5th and 6th graders line the hallways and cheer them on as we parade through the school. Yes, us teachers dress up too! A lot of us of go all out too. Why not?? Last year my team was CF football players and this year we were the CF tiger. I love my team and the kiddos love it when we dress up. The Kindergarten team dressed up as various colors of play dough, the 1st grade team dressed up as spices, we were tigers, and the 3rd grade team dressed up as superheros. Fun!

Tiger pj's from Target!!

We originally planned to take Dayton to the Main Street Halloween parade, but it was an especially cold day, and he's a baby, so we decided to just dress up at home and answer the door. Little man was a bear for Halloween. Such a cute little bear. Excuse the sad quality of photos, some of them are from my phone.
P.S. - This costume was size 6-12 month and Dayton barely squeezed in it. I mean, barely.

He's the cutest bear I've ever seen!

Our neighborhood is lots of fun for Halloween for two reasons: 1) there are TONS of kiddos and 2) our neighborhood is zoned for the school I work at, so I get to see my students and other kids all dressed up! It's pretty funny when kids from other grades realize I am a teacher at their school. They are all such good kids. They all took just one piece of candy and all said, "Thank you!" I was very impressed. Well done, parents! I love our neighborhood. It was absolutely freezing that night, so we enjoyed the festivities from home. After a while, Dayton got pretty hot in his bear costume, so we took it off and he wore his birthday suit for Halloween! Haha! Happy Halloween y'all! Hope it was fun!
