Although Halloween is probably my most dreaded holiday...like I really hate this holiday. I know that for my children it is an exciting time of year. So I put one foot in front of the other, a smile on my face and endure through it until it is over. I may seem like a grouch but honestly until you have seen what life is like with a diabetic kid and halloween you will never truly understand how awful halloween can really be. I dread the high blood sugars, the sick tummy, the crazy emotions and to top it all off the sugar induced high the other children get on. I decided this year was going to be different. I traded the candy for a toy. If I am ever going to survive Carson's halloween childhood I had to make something more appealing to him than candy. And trust me that was difficult. However, legos out performed this year and replaced the sugary poison. I decided that all my kids would benefit from this trade, so off to walmart we headed and in the trash their candy went. I do not feel I am over indulging my children if anything I am saving them from the crap they were about to inhale. However, if there is anything positive that can be found at Halloween it is the cuteness that is my children. I loved not only how adorable they were this year but the simplicity of each of their costumes. So here are these cute little stinkers on Halloween 2014.
My Dorothy:
My Spider-girl (or in Emma's words Spida-gurl):
And my cute little Nerds (I told them Halloween was a time for them to not be themselves but they didn't listen!:):
