HALLOWEEN

Halloween at the Shelton house.











Turns out the kids were not into being photographed that day. I guess sometimes a 6 year old, 5 year old, 3 year old, and 1 year old just don't feel like cooperating for picture time all at the same time. What do you do? I guess you just take comfort in the fact that you know you did your best with what you were given. At least I managed to get a few pictures of them in their costumes to remember this Halloween year.

And in the end, it really isn't about the pictures at all, it is about the fun they had and the memories that were made. The excitement and anticipation leading up to finally being able to get their costumes on, to getting out there and running from house to house wanting to fill their bags up until they were overflowing, to realizing their little legs could not carry them to one more house without giving out, to getting home and in their jammies, and to finally being able to eat some of that candy they worked so hard to get before climbing into bed after a long day of Halloween fun.

So good pictures or not, it was a happy Halloween. A happy Halloween indeed.

I thought Anthony was going to be a storm Trooper, but here Lucas is wearing that, and Anthony is a cowboy. Big surprise there. I thought the pictures were exceptional...very enjoyable, and colorful. And such cute subjects!
