Mr. Jack O’Lantern!

Halloween is my favorite holiday hands down – in the candy bowl that is!  That’s right, I LOVE costumes and I LOVE candy. My favorite Halloween treat is Reese Peanut Butter cups. I can’t hand them out for Halloween because it’s three for me and one for them.  I have learned over the years the safest route to not gaining to many Halloween lbs is to buy candy you don’t’ like.  Lollipops and Tootsie Rolls seem popular and safe enough to have 5 pounds of it in our house. Once my waistline is safe, it’s time to get three boys in costumes.  There are so many cute costumes out there this year!  We of course have already had to exchange Cooper’s costume because he has changed his mind.  After being batman for two years he has decided this year to be Stevie from Minecraft. Yes I am embarrassed to admit the hours my kids spend on Minecraft and to my husband’s horror they watch tutorials on how to play Minecraft. And now, they are both Minecraft characters for Halloween.  The challenge is we have to make the costumes.  I am not a DIY mom.  I am a FMDIYSU (Fix My Do It Yourself Screw-Up) mom much to my husband’s chagrin.  So he is going to be making these costumes and if you have any input, please let me know.  Here are pictures of Stevie and Creeper from Minecraft .

The costumes are not the only things my kids also love the Doozycards.  They love to laugh at the Halloween ecards.  Check out Doozycards Halloween ecards for kids. My teenager and his cousins wrote the Halloween Aliens ecard.
