Disgusting I know, but I love to make a fun Halloween dinner for the kids. So this year the menu was.... mummy pizzas, string cheese fingers, apple "bites", witches' brooms and jello pumpkin. I swear I get more excited than they do. I just remember my mom making fun dinners on Halloween so I have to keep up the tradition. It was fun. I want to do a mixed up dinner sometime (thanks Chels) but this year I felt like they were a little young.
Gorilla costume........... $10 3 bags of candy............. $8 seeing Hayden in his costume for all of 3 minutes.........priceless!Mr. Hayden was a gorilla and absolutely hated this costume even though he looked so cute. He really would pull at it like crazy so he didn't last long. But it was hilarious!
My OCD was coming out really bad when my kids did not want to be anything coordinating this year. Dave said I had to let them be what they wanted. As hard as it was for me, I did it. Aubs wanted to be Dora, so Dora she was. But it was really cute and she got a lot of comments on the hair.
Mallory insisted on being something that wasn't to hot! After trying for weeks to get her to be other things she was determined to be an Indian (again)! [Dave insists she's a "Native American"]. She still looked so cute in the costume and it was a warm night so it's good she was something cool.
And finally, the pink flamingo. Chandler likes flamingos, so when she saw this costume it was a must for her. It was quite awkward but she pulled it off. She likes to be the different one. Go ahead and keep laughing because she knows people kept laughing at her.

Oh my goodness! Josh was obsessed with pink flamingos when we were neighbors (he thought every trailer should have one) so we LOVE the flamingo costume!
Dora's hair is seriously crackin' me up! I can't stop laughing.
Oh My, That Pink Flamingo made my day! What a Hoot! I LOVE all of your kids costumes and your Halloween dinner was so Creative!
You have an Adorable Family Jamie!
I love the flamingo! All the kids look so cute in their costumes.
I also started laughing out loud at the Dora hair. Priceless. And the pink flamingo-- so. great.
Good job reigning in your OCD--I know how hard it is for you.
I can't get over how stinkin cute those costumes are...and kiddos too! All of them from the gorrilla to Dora hair to authentic Native American (LOL) to the over-the-top flamingo. They're the best! Way to conquer your OCD...they look great!
You are the queen of Halloween! My poor kids need a Peery mom:) And thanks for the super nice comments on my photos. If I ever go to Missouri, I'll take your kids pics for free!
Oh my heck, Jamie you are seriously super-mom. It never would have occurred to me to make a Halloween dinner. I think I might have to steal your idea. :D
Love the costumes! And the dinner is fabulous! You are so creative!
