As Halloween approaches, I’ve been reminiscing about past Halloweens. Honestly, Halloween is not my favorite holiday. But it is fun watching how excited the kids get. And how cute they look in their costumes.

Having twins has made that even more fun. For a while anyway. For a couple of years I was able to get Skyler & Spencer in to matching costumes for Halloween.

They were only weeks old at their very first Halloween [1999]. Skyler was a pansy and Spencer was a pea pod.

Their second Halloween [2000] we went with a Sesame Street theme. Skyler was Big Bird and Spencer was Cookie Monster.

For their third Halloween [2001] we went with a monster theme. Old Navy had these really cute monster costumes so I got them for Skyler & Spencer.

And that’s where the themed Halloween costumes ended. By the time Skyler & Spencer were three [2002], they wanted to choose their own costumes. Skyler was a Powerpuff Girl and Spencer was Bob the Builder.

Then at four years old [2003] Skyler chose to be a Princess and Spencer was a red Power Ranger.

But when they were five, I was able to talk them in to one more themed costume. Skyler was Raggedy Ann and Spencer was Raggedy Andy. Look at how absolutely adorable they looked. Don’t you think it would be cool if they’d let me dress them in matching costumes every year? Darn these kids for growing up and getting ideas of their own.

You’ll have to wait until Tuesday to find out what they all decided to be this year.
