Happy Halloween from Hogwarts

Happy Halloween from Hogwarts!
We had the best time dressing up as Harry Potter characters this year. 

We took picture with our platform 9 3/4 sign and had the best time posing with out wands. 

I love this magical crew of mine. 

Chris was professor Snape and I was Bellatrix Lestrange. 

We were quite the pair of Death Eaters. 

Bailey was our cute little Hermoine.

 

Which was perfect, since she's also our little book worm. 

Tanner agreed to be Ron Weasley, because Tucker wanted to be Harry Potter. 

So Tanner was Ron and he rocked it. 

He really loved having his own pet rat, Scabbers. 

Here's Tuck as Harry Potter. 

He was the funniest about about pictures. He took his wizardly role very serious and I was cracking up. 

Benson was the most uncooperative, but he sure made for a cute little Dobby the house elf. 

That little face. He kills me. 

My magical bunch of cuties. I love them so much. 

We had our ward trunk or treat on the Friday before Halloween. But before that, we got to trick or treat at Daddy's office. That's always a huge hit with the kids. Although it was much smaller this year than usual, we still had a great time. 

Here are the kids all ready to trick or treat Daddy's work. 

Bailey loved the Unicorn tea party room the best. 

All the kids loved the Harry Potter themed room. They got to meet the creepiest Dumbledore ever and they loved it. 

But Benson loved the under the sea room the best. He loved the bubbles everywhere!

The ward trunk or treat was fun. It was crazy but fun. There were tons of kids in Gryffindor robes and they loved that Chris was dressed as Snape. They kept talking to him about potions class and it was so funny. We had to get a picture of Chris and all his students. 

Then I checked the kids out early after their parties and we went home to hang out before trick or treating. Sadly it rained all afternoon and even though we hoped it would stop, the rain continued all night. Because of the nasty weather,  we opted for a "scary face" pancake night at home instead of going to iHOP. The kids loved it. 

Then we went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. Benson did one house and he was done. 

The big kids walked around in the rain in their Hogwarts cloaks for quite a while before they were done. They loved this creepy house in our neighborhood.

The kids are big enough that we were able to just follow behind them in the van and it was great.

After trick-or-treating, we went home, got our pjs on, grabbed some candy and watched a movie in mommy's bed. The kids loved it. It was so nice to be able to stay warm and the kids were thrilled with the amount of candy they got and they loved snuggling in my bed.

It was such a great Halloween. However, I am looking forward to tomorrow. November can't come soon enough. It's been a crazy, wild month.
