Happy Halloween

Good gracious! What is all this blogging about? Well, when there's a picture, there's motivation. So, we were the Anderson Avengers for Halloween this year. Yes, Spiderman is in the Avengers in the comics, so it does fit. Claire was Scarlet Witch and everyone at school kept telling her that she's not in the Avengers. Just think of how cool she'll feel when the new movie comes out and they were all WRONG! (Ok, she won't feel that cool because she hasn't even seen the movies....but I know how cool I feel proving a bunch of preschoolers wrong.....yeah....)

I'll be honest, I was SOO excited for this Avengers idea....until we were costume shopping and saw a Scooby-Doo costume. How did I not think of that? We spent a couple of months watching that wonderful cartoon and it is a definite highlight of my year (Yes, we are THAT boring). Next year, for I am destined to be Daphne or Velma.

Our Halloween trick or treating was wonderful. We went to the "Halloween House" and successfully made it through without our kids being terrified of the Jason and Zombies holding chainsaws. Score! Jared is a boy after my own heart because he wanted more when Claire was aching to go home. I went trick-or-treating until I was 20, people. TWENTY! I LOVE IT! Glad to see someone carry on the family tradition. :)

Funny Tidbit. So, I was black widow....and I sort of, kind of...dislike Scarlet Johansson in everything she plays because it is usually a little floozy-ish. Despite her gaining 20 points for being black widow (because it is a killer awesome character and I felt pretty rad), I had to feed screaming and exhausted Hailey while out trick-or-treating and did so walking around. Funny part being when my friend said, "Are you nursing her? I'll just call you Scarlet Johansson." Baha! I guess that's the perk, right? If you're being Scarlet, you have every right to "show off" the goods. (Don't worry, I was completely covered the entire time. No one would have even suspected. Only thought she was a sleeping baby.)

Anyway, I love Halloween. I hope yours was wonderful and safe.

Gosh, I love this family! And look at them bones! Henry looks so rad! Not to mention her adorable little dinosaur. This woman can do some killer things with her sewing machine!
