Sometimes you just need to be a Superhero. This year has proved to me that life is short, things change, you really have no control over it even if you think you do and you don't have to be a super hero and do it all alone. But when it comes to Halloween it seemed prefect to be a family of Superheros, so we did just that! The boys picked their costumes first, Wolverine for Mason and Captain America for Colton and then I took them shopping and they picked out Batgirl for me. I have to admit it was so much fun to dress up with my boys this year. I know that they wont always want to a theme costume idea but I am gonna take full advantage for as long as I can. My sister and her family were also Superheros! Yes we are one big family of awesomeness.
We started our Halloween day with a little pumpkin carving at our house. Mason did awesome this year, he didn't want anything to do with cleaning out the guts but he did a great job carving his own pumpkin with very little help from me! Once again we went trick or treating in my parents neighborhood, it is so much more fun to trick or trick in a neighborhood where you know so many of the people. Then that evening the boys and I headed to a Halloween Party back in our neighborhood (friends from Colton's Baseball team, did I mention I have made some amazing new friends this last year). The kids played Ghost in the Graveyard for hours while the the adults enjoyed food and drinks around the fire. It was another great Halloween and all three of us were home, put away our superhero powers and we were tucked in for a slumber party in my bed before 11pm.
My boys really do have Super Powers, they can make any hard times and stress melt away with just a flash of their smiles or a bedtime snuggle. I love you Colton and Mason, you will be my heroes forever.
