Every year our family dresses up together for Halloween. Usually Connor picks the theme. This year I expected Connor and Kaiden would pick different things to dress as and we wouldn't have a family theme anymore, but to my surprise Connor said it was Kaiden's turn to pick a theme and he would dress up in whatever Kaiden chose. Connor is seriously the sweetest, most kind hearted, loving kid ever! Kaiden decided on Ninjas. So, this year we were a family of Ninjas. Kaiden chose the standard black ninja costume with red details and tons of throwing stars and swords. Connor decided on a gold ninja costume, which is exactly like his Lloyd Lego character that he loves. I found 2 ninja costumes for Jason and I, but then realized it basically the same as dressing in black sweats and wearing a ski mask... so I saved the money and made our costumes. The boys were happy. They loved our ninja family Halloween. I attempted to put a mask on Piper, but she wasn't having any of it. We got lucky this year and the weather was fantastic! In fact we didn't even have to wear jackets. We had a layer of clothing under our costumes and that was all we needed. There was no wind and it felt great. We did way more trick-or-treating than we normally do.
After school we came home and decorated our pumpkins. We just got them, but they sat outside for the last couple days and have already started turning soft. So, we weren't able to carve them like we expected.. so instead we decorated them with our plastic pumpkin kit.
