Halloween with teens

Halloween this year was a litle different than in previous years. All our kids had their own parties and friends to be with, so Phil and I stayed home by ourselves. It was kind of a crazy day since Phil decided to paint and fix our front door and when the kids started trick-or-treating, we had a blanket hung where our front door should have been. We were able to finish the door project and rehang the door before the evening was over, but the kids that came to the "blanket" door thought it was for Halloween. Nope. That's just my husband and the way he works when he gets a project in mind. Doesn't matter what day it is - he has his own agenda.



We did take a few minutes and went to visit Grandpa Hutchinson. It's always a tradition to see him and show off the kids each year. We love visiting him and we know he's always excited to see his grandkids.



James had a blind date with Landon and some girls he knew and went to a corn maze and haunted house. He decided to dress up like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. He had a fun time with the girls and decided blind dates weren't too bad.



Lauren went to a party with her girlfriends and dressed up as if she'd been electrocuted. It was a fun and interesting idea that came from her brother - he used this costume last year because his "bed head" hair when he wakes up looks naturally like he's been electrocuted.





Natalie went trick-or-treating with a bunch of friends in the pouring rain, but had a fun time anyway. Aunt Carri came up with her witch costume. She was also a cheerleader for her daddy/daughter party and a volleyball player at her dance party. She just couldn't decide on one costume this year!
