Pictures? Maybe...

This is my THIRD attempt today at posting our Halloween pix...I could really do a great blog if I let myself really get wound up over this! AARRRRGGGH!!!!

These pics are courtesy of Sharon Watson--Scott's Mom--thank goodness they were here to capture the event on film--I mean in digital memory card pixels or whatever. Anyway--I only got ONE picture of the entire evening...it was WILD!!

I will color code the blah blah about each picture...to match the picture...because I can't get them to show up where I want them no matter what I try! Here goes attempt #4...or 5...now I'm just determined to get these pics up if the kids have to make dinner themselves...

Somewhere in this post you will find:

Savannah (7 yr.) as the Red Power Ranger from S.P.D. She really wanted to be Tommy--the Green Ranger from the original movie/show, but there were no greens to be found. Tommy was once a Red Ranger for an episode or two of something, so Savannah decided that would be okay. She wants to be Tommy when she grows up--and be a ballerina dancer and a teacher and a doctor and an astronaut and an artist and a rock star. All at once. Oh...and a mom, just like me. :o)

Sydney (5 1/2 yr.) as Jasmine. She decided in August--when Scott started talking about Halloween--that she wanted to be Jasmine. That was just the way it was. No doubt and no changing her mind. There was a brief moment in time that we thought all 4 girls would be different Power Rangers, but I think that lasted about 5 minutes--and was mostly "someone else's" idea! Sydney was thrilled to get to be Jasmine...she wants to dress up daily now...some day I will let her again!

Peyton (4 yr.) as Tinkerbell. Not the Disney version, but she didn't care...she was pretty set on Tink for a good month or so before the big day, so this was a great deal for her too! She so loves being a girly-girl and getting all dressed up...and she looks sooooo adorable when she does! This was a really fun year of Halloween for Peyton...don't know why it seemed so different from past years, but she was just so funny and cute this time around! :o)

Lili (2 yr.) as Eyeore...not anyone's first pick for her, but when it got down to time, this is what we picked! She picked something different every time we talked about Halloween or looked at costumes, so we made an executive decision to let her pick from our stash from past Halloweens...she had to choose from Blue, Periwinkle, Eyeore, Sam-I-Am, Superman and a really cute spider with a hat and bow tie! Eyeore won, hands down--even though she called him Tigger for 2 days! Now--all she wants to do is watch Pooh on tv and look for Eyeore! So funny! She actually trick-or-treated this year--instead of clinging to me and crying at the end of every driveway or sidewalk! Hooray! (That's why we had so many Snickers! LOL)

And the whole Watson 6--ready to hit the streets of Jackson...We really had a great night...even if we did try to cram too much fun into too few hours! The kids have now recovered, so we will have to find something else this week to wear them out with! Looks like it could be just sending them outside to play--we were in the upper 70's today--and I think it's supposed to stay warm for a few more days! Woo Hoo!

Better go feed the munchkins before a riot breaks out!

Until we blog again...
