Knights Dragons and a Damsel in Distress

We had such a fun Halloween this year. I think our costumes turned out really cute, and Kaden loved Trick or Treating. We started the festivities by going to my parents house to Trick or Treat around 5:00. My mom gave Paycen some little graham crackers. What a cute idea. We then went to the Salem trunk or treat. Tyrel stayed to pass out the candy and I took the kids around. Near the end, I was holding the Halloween candy bucket because Kaden was complaining that is was "too heavy".


Kaden assuming the knightly pose. Tip of the sword down and chest out.


Kaden loved his sword...Paycen didn't {too many bumps on the head}


The full costume. What a handsome knight.


A knight, a dragon and of course the damsel in distress.


Everyone asked me about my hat so here are the answers... Yes it hurt to wear, Yes I ran into things {everything} and Yes it was easy to make {poster board, tissue paper and a lot of tape}

We ended the trunk or treat at like 7:00. It was perfect because we came home ate dinner/candy then put the boys to bed at a decent time. Halloween is like a love/hate relationship at our house. Dressing up is fun and getting candy is fun, but fighting with your 3 year old about the candy is not so much fun. In fact I can't wait for it to be gone so there will be no more tantrums over "one more" or "just a little one mommy". October went way too fast. I caught myself singing Jingle Bells while doing dishes one afternoon. Where did the time go?
