Halloweens of Old

On the eve of Halloween, I thought it would be fun to share some photos from past years and some way past years.  I scrounged up all of the Halloween photos I could and this is the best I could do.  I know there have to be some more out there.  The kiddos are sleeping peacefully after tonight's Trunk or Treat at church - I'll be sharing Jake, Izzy and our little gold doubloon in the next few days!

 Robin Hood and Maid Marian circa 1970-something (Dad has a wedding band on and they got married in 1977 so it's sometime after that)

 1983

 Can I just say how awesome this dragon costume is?  I wish I had it for Corban.

 1988

 1989

 1990-something

 1998 - This was during that stage where I thought it was cool to give seductive looks.  So glad I'm over that.  It's totally working with the pumpkin with the knife through it's head, you know because Jack-o-Lanterns are sexy??  

 1999 - We carved our first pumpkin a year after we had been dating.

Apparently I didn't do anything Halloweenie again until I had kids or either I just didn't document it.  I have been known to be a party pooper when it comes to dressing up.

 2007 - Sweet little mousie.

In 2008 we had awesome costumes.  Carie, Chris and Sutton were the Rubbles and Jacob, Dakota and I were the Flintstones.  Our costumes rocked but I can't seemed to find any pictures.  I know I have some on a disc somewhere but ain't nobody got time to go searchin' for them.

2009 - A few weeks prior to Corban coming along, Dakota had a date to the pumpkin Patch.

 2009 - The Cowardly Lion and his friend Dorothy

 2009 - A week old Munchkin to go with Dorothy and her friends

 2010 - Such a sweet little clown.

 2010 - Boys will be boys and girls will be girls.

 2011 - Tinkerbell and Peter Pan at the Fall Festival with the cousins.

2012 - She-Ra and He-Man.  This will be marked as one of those years that Corban will look back and say, "Mom, what were you thinking??"  I was in a blogging funk last year so I never shared their costumes but let's just say I appreciated Corban's willingness to don a Lloyd Christmas meets He-Man costume (although he wouldn't wear the breastplate without a shirt).  What a trooper.  Thanks to Netflix, Dakota was going through a Masters of the Universe kick.  Why is it that all of the "great" cartoons from the 80's are so terrible??  I could barely sit in the same room while it was on.  Oh well.  We are over that and hopefully my son wasn't traumatized too bad.
