Halloween 2012

We had a lot of fun this year for Halloween.  Tanner and Savannah had fun getting Spencer excited to go by telling him all the things he has to do to get candy.  All day long he just kept asking if it was time to get candy yet.  For the costumes we were trying to come up with a theme that we all could go as but Tanner and Savannah couldn't agree on anything plus Tanner really wanted to be a Pokemon trainer,which was a nice cheap and easy costume!

We went to Tanner and Savannahs school Halloween parade. Since Tanner wanted to be a Pokemon trainer there really wasn't a costume to buy, so he had to wear normal clothes. But he did make some badges for his jacket and hat.  At the last minute, he wanted to be a "dark" pokemon trainer so we put some makeup under his eyes to make him look meaner. 

Tanner is trying to show off his hat in the above picture..... didn't quite work because the photographer (me) sucks  at taking pictures :)

Savannah wanted to be a cheerleader since she went to cheer for some summer classes.  But the only one we could find was a "dark" cheerleader.  She really liked the idea of wearing dark make-up!

Spencer got to be Batman.  It was a fight at first to get him into his costume, but once he remembered that would get candy he was all for it.

Micah got to be a cute little tiger.  But earlier for the parade he was dressed in his skeleton shirt.

Darin had to dress up for work so we had a Scream mask and a long black robe.....the one with my dad's initials on it (so I called it the Really Freakin' Mean costume!).  The worried picture of Micah in his car seat above is in reaction to Darin looking down out him with his mask on.  He wasn't too sure about this holiday...

Tanner went trick or treating with his friends.  Savannah had one of her friends come with us, which meant it soon turned into Darin pushing Micah walking with the girls and me walking ever so slowly with Spencer because he had to keep looking in his bag and naming off all the candy he got.  Spencer got to about 15 houses before he was done.

My favorite part of the night was when we went to Darin's parents' house.  Since Darin was all dressed up he took one of the kids bags had us all hide and he went and rang their doorbell.  He shouted "Trick or treat!" and held out his bag.  There was a moment of silence until his mom realized it was him!
