Super Megaforce Power Rangers Costumes & Activities #Halloween
We're always scrambling for last minute Halloween costumes. Every year, it seems we push it off and push it off until the day is upon us! This year our boys wanted to be jujitsuka which means a student of any type of jujitsu martial arts except judo. Actually, the gamer wanted to be a black belt like his Sensei Joe at Washi Bujutsu, so being the awesome Sensei that he is, he made this happen (for Halloween only!). There are some pretty awesome Halloween costumes on the market, but if you're looking for trendy costumes for your boy or girl,…

Creepiest Halloween Decorations – Ever | #halloween
I didn't say scariest. I said creepiest. I know we used that phrase all the time "creepiest ever!" or "best ever", but there is something about a zombie mom holding a corpse baby that's just plain creepy and almost not right. My daughter and I found this in one of those Halloween stores that are only open for a couple of months each year. Just looking at it was enough to make our jaws drop, but when you step on the little foot pedal that's supposed to be hidden under something for guests to unknowingly step on when they walk…

This year, Kylie was a nerd, Braxton was Captain Rex, Hawk was Mario, and Jett was Yoda! We're thankful that our neighbor let us borrow some costumes at the last minute.
