Our Happy Halloween

Hope you and your family had a wonderful Halloween. This is a much anticipated holiday in the Neal home and the kids were ready a little early so we played in our costumes in the backyard to kill some time. Here's the whole clan ready for trick or treating.
Sadly, this year everyone couldn't agree (and by everyone, I mean Logan and Amanda... Eric and I aren't that picky) on what they wanted to dress up as so we didn't have a family theme this year. But it was a lot of fun seeing what creative things everyone came up with all by themselves!

Logan wanted to be a ninja. Here he is showing you some of his moves.

Amanda, who is REALLY into horses this year, wanted to be a horse rider from her FAVORITE TV program, Horse Riders! Her outfit included Logan's bicycle helmet covered in black fabric, black goo goo boots (that we had previously bought from a consignment sale earlier this year) and a 5 dollar stick horse form Dollar General.
Here are my two cuties taking turns on the tire swing. Don't worry, we didn't send Logan out trick or treating without shoes. He found some water shoes that he thought looked like something a ninja would ware right before we left.


And my adorable husband! He came up with this about 2:00 this afternoon. An ashamed Chiefs fan!

By the way... I was a witch if you couldn't tell from the photo : ) As Lucy from Charlie brown says's "A person should choose a costume that is in direct contrast to her personality." (hee hee)

And speaking of Charlie Brown. I SOOOO wanted us to go as the Charlie Brown clan since Logan has the bald head but all I could manage was him dressing up for 10 seconds while I took a photo.

  1. Thanks for sharing the photos. Logan whispered in my ear that he wanted to be a Ninja but he said to keep it a secret. I wondered how he would manage the outfit if he didn't tell "somebody" about it! And - the little "Horse Rider" outfit is just adorable. Diane - you are the "go-to" person for Halloween outfits!

  3. Love a sister who can quote Lucy from Charlie Brown. She always was our favorite character. Something about a strong, ornery, female. Looks like Halloween was a lot of fun. It was just not the same without having you guys here to trick and treat with. I was very nostalgic again this year and almost decided to just drive to Wichita for the night.
