Hope everyone had a terrific Halloween!  My boys are 10 and 11 years old, so Halloween is always a big deal around our house.  My oldest, Cohen, wanted to be an African Witch Doctor, so I had to get really creative and make him a costume complete with shrunken head!  GROSS! lol  The head turned out pretty creepy, so I asked Cohen if he wanted to sleep with it on his pillow.  For some reason he declined.  Hmmm.

Aidan was a pirate...or Juan Ponce De Leon...depending on when you asked him.  While he was in pirate mode, though, he came out and stood with his hands on his hips and legs slightly spread and announced, "Are ye lookin' to do some swashbucklin' but ye have ye no ship?  Then come over to Ye Olde Pirate Shoppe right now!  We've got portable ships for all yer piratin needs...for the low, low price of 10,000 lbs of gold!"  Needless to say, his little informercial antics had us all laughing.   A short while later, Cohen was walking around in full Witch Doctor garb, and pointed at his shrunken head, then pointed at Aidan's head.  No surprise he'd threaten to shrink his brother's head! ha!

We took them both to their first "haunted" experience...a "haunted trail" that was set up at a local park.  It was so much fun.  Of course, all the ghoulies targeted the woman and child at the back of the group...AKA...ME and Cohen.  So everytime I turned around, some THING was jumping out at me.  I screamed.  ALOT. hahaha

My youngest said we should never, ever do that again.  He's not a fan of being scared.  But my oldest was hilarious.  He kept asking the masked actors if they were free and wanted to hang out on Saturday night.  Then, at the end, when the psycho with the chainsaw came after us, he looked at the guy and said, "Hey, while you've got that fired up, could you make me some sushi?"

Oh...my...word.  My kids are a hoot!

Hope you all had a wonderful time...and are enjoying the chocolately goodness that is Halloween!
