during Gabby's acro class, Corinn's tap instructor stopped by to tell me that Corinn was doing really well.....she said that she can tell Corinn is really concentrating & that she's picking up the steps fast ;0)
after dance, we all headed to good ole Walmart......i needed to pick up snack for Corinn's class today & a few other things.....well, Jaden spotted the Halloween candy aisle & literally gasped! i guess he didn't realize it was coming up pretty soon......since daddy wasn't home & we were in no rush - i decided to take the opportunity to let the kids look at the Halloween costumes & get ideas.......i tell ya, i think Jaden might actually love Halloween more than me! :0) for quite some time, he's talked about wanting us to do a haunted house instead of trick-or-treating this year - telling each of us what we should dress up as, to scare our visitors.....but now, he's asking to do both (haunted house & door to door) - so we'll see.....i haven't mentioned my camping idea to the kiddos since curtis & i are still working that out ;0)
Jaden's already decided he's going to be the Grim Reaper AGAIN (i've mentioned before that he gets in the habit of having repeat costumes - we've done Spiderman & a karate ninja multiple times too)......Walmart has a hood with glowing eyes this year! here's a pic of Jaden under someone's Grim Reaper lawn decoration last year
he picked up a $3 plastic labrys last night (instead of the sycle/scythe that he had last year - and still has!) & we're going to use the same hood & cape as last year - he really wants the new hood with glowing eyes, but mama is trying to convince him to use what we already have instead.....i might see if i can find one at a good price on one online tho?
but, it might have been a mistake to get this ball rolling - he woke up this morning & said he had a scary dream about a haunted house with live pumpkins.....then walking into school this morning, he asked the crossing guards if they knew that Halloween was soon! and my mom just got back from having lunch with Jaden at school - she said Halloween is all he could talk about! ~lol~ his poor teacher! ~lol~
as usual, the girls are bouncing back & forth with ideas......Gabby first said she was going to be a cheerleader with the dress up costume, pom poms & megaphone that she already has......and Corinn said she wanted to be a lady bug again (like last year)......but remember, they also have the option of using their recital costumes.....Hannah Montana was also mentioned last night - and a fairy princess......we'll see what they finally land on this year ;0)

Wesley also wants to be the grim reaper. Our boys definitely think alike:) Definitely praying for your Aunt Dawn!! How scary:(
I love the idea of camping and decorating the campground :) That's great!
Love their ideas for halloween costumes. I wish my kids would want to "recycle" their costumes. Javi starts planning halloween at the end of August. Once the bdays are over, he's on to the next major holiday. He lives from holiday to holiday :)
haha, that's so jaden! i try to avoid the "what holiday is next?" convo, just so i'm not harassed about said holiday until it arrives ~lol~ but u gotta love their enthusiasm! :0)
