Yeah…I’m with the band

Before we get to the real deal costumes, I thought I would share some of our other festive pics of the season.  These next couple were taken under the persimmon tree on the compound.

S, R, M, J – in their new glow-in-the-dark pj’s
**The first time they wore these to bed…Rocco cried and cried when we turned off the lights.  Poor little guy was so afraid of the mysterious glow illuminating from his body.  He didn’t glow all night ;) and we got a good laugh out of it!

  Awww…sweet Sloan loving on Rocco!  Happy Halloween little Lambes!

And Happy Birthday to our Big Pop – the best Big Pop (or pig pop as they would say) in the world!

We started brainstorming on ideas a few months back on what to dress the kids as for our Halloween party.  Of course, we are still in the phase where they have no opinions and WE get to pick their costumes…which is OH SO much fun for me!  I know in a couple of years it will be different (still fun though, seeing each of their personalities shine through.)  So we went through the list , Wizard of Oz characters, 3 little pigs and big bad wolf  - funny to think of Sloan dressed as the wolf, but not quite what I had in mind, um…let’s see…what else….well anyway, there were a lot of choices.  How do you decide?  So pretty often we get comments or questions about the kids’ names.  Many people say how they sound like rock star names or ask if we named them after rock stars.  No, we didn’t.  But we liked the idea :)  And that is how we got to this…

Guns N’ Rattles (because New Quads on the Block wasn’t cool enough for daddy)

They really got in to playing the part…haha! (Front to Back: S, R, M, J)

They even come with their own stage names…

Sloanie Sloan – our pop princess!

Roc-O – our classic rock guy, complete with bandana and smokey eyes!

MJ – our pop guy, Justin Timberlake inspired with fedora and skinny jeans!

Lil’ Jag – our punk rocker, complete with green faux-hawk and tatted sleeve!

Rock on sista!

  Diva and daddy

Rockin’ the guyliner!

Down and dirty!

Just a swingin’

Oh MY cute baby booty in skinny jeans!

Who says punks can’t play football?

Some other cute costumes at the party…

Trick or treating - rock and roll style….   

“Make way…band coming through”

Daddy and Sloan leading the pack– the girl got it after the first house when she saw the candy go in her pumpkin.  She was not letting go of that pumpkin…no way!

Jagger with Grandaddy – he was doing his thing!

Madden and Nanny – having a good time!

Grandmama & Rocco – our pokey man

  Lil’ Jag: “Hey…where’d my bus go?”
