Halloween 2011...our little bees

 I must admit, I'm not a fan of halloween. Sorry. Just not. It's scary for little ones, it's expensive for 3 hours of enjoyment and all these people give my children tons of candy for me to have to tell them no they can't eat it. Seriously, who came up with this??? :-) Anyway, all that aside, we had a wonderful time this year to tell the truth. I found these bee outfits at a consignment sale for a whoppin...ready?...$5 a piece! Austin's came with ALL of that! We got the kids ready and headed over to a larger neighborhood and walked (yes, we still walked...we didn't drive along side of her like some weird-o parents) up and down street after street and had a blast. Austin slept the whole time and didn't mind I wasn't getting him candy...I think that's just weird when parents do that for the baby. And Courtney had an absolute blast. So much so that when we got home, her and Daddy went all around our neighborhood too...and the neighborhood next to ours...and across from ours. She scored TONS of candy, but most of all had a fun time running around with her Daddy. As you can see in the last picture, Courtney was HAPPY. Possibly because I decided long ago that when they get home from trick-or-treating, they can have as much candy as they want. I know, that's horrible, right?  Most parents probably say "pick one"...I mean, seriously, that is just cruel! You go to Starbucks and just take one sip of your pumpkin spice latte! Try it. So, she was all sugared up and happy as can be. (she only ate 3-4 pieces, kids don't really want THAT much candy either).
