Halloween 2013

We were in Atlanta for Halloween this year, and it was a GREAT time. Anne Marie and I had talked about trying to get a Halloween cake, not because Halloween is a typical cake holiday, but because I miss (and she really likes) Publix cake so much! (It was our wedding cake.) It seemed the perfect excuse! She asked for a special order cake because I don't care for all the dye on the icing, so we wanted something simpler that wouldn't be covered in bright orange frosting. They must have mis-understood the goal because the cake we got was about as colored as it could possibly have been! It. Was. Delicious. I had a piece every day I was there. yummmmmm

The boys really liked it too!

After we ate the cake, we sat down to watch It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

And then we put on our costumes. Austin was Superwhy! and Graham was a Hersey Kiss. That's the same Hersey Kiss costume that I got for free and used for Austin's 2nd Halloween.

Seth was not posing. He just stands like Superman when he's thinking.

Superwhy! to the rescue! "with the power to read"

Best shot I could get of Graham in the costume. That kid has very strong opinions and DID NOT want the hat on his head!

Typical picture of three littles. Two adults holding kids in place while one adult tries desperately to catch The Picture while one kid sleeps and one screams his head off.

Once we took Graham out of the equation, we actually got a pretty good picture. Wish his mask wasn't up so high, but still very good picture.

Anne Marie warned me that they didn't have any Trick-or-Treaters last year, so I had to document her first costumer. Austin was great about handing out candy!

And then once Uncle Mike was home, he took the screen off the door, so the boys were trapped inside, but could hand out candy.

Austin was yelling "Trick-or-Treat!" at people as they walked by. 

The weather was perfect and we had a fabulous day. Thanks for having us, Dine Family!!
