Halloween Night

For some reason this year I could not get excited about Halloween costumes. We, the Davis Family, has been know in the past for our "family themed" costumes. We have done Peter Pan, Willy Wonka (Charles was Willy, I was a wonka bar and we only had Brooklyn and Brigham and they were oompa-loomps), Toy Story, and Star Wars to name a few. This has always been a group effort. For some reason though I was having a hard time getting into the chosen theme of "Gilligan's Island" My kids didn;t even know what that was until our friends go tthe first sesaon of the show for Charles for his birthday. Once Halloween rolled around I was so embarrassed at our attempt get dressed up that I almost didn't take the pictures. That would have been worse though for sure! So here were: Charles as Mr. Howell
Danee - I was going to be Mrs. Howell of course but I decided wearing my great grandma's real fur stole at Trunk or Treat with Nachos/ Hot Dogs and kids was not a good combination - so I never dressed up. Brooklyn as Ginger - wearing my old Homecoming dress from my Sophomore year. Brigham - Gilligan. Emmelyne was Mary Ann. Hudson was going to be the skipper but then we remembered that he is Hudson and he is not going to wear a costume to save his life. And then there was Rexton - the professor - but like I said I ran out of steam and just dressed him in orange for the holiday. Oh well - I think that my kids will survive. It is all about the candy anyway, right?
