Welcome back to #iPPP! Mama Mash and I want to see your funny, your yummy, your heartfelt, your favorite phone photos of the week. Link up below!

We love Halloween in our house. I don’t quite understand it, since the two oldest are scared of everything that’s even a little bit scary, but they get excited starting in, like, August. Henry loves to pretend to be a vampire, or monster, or whatever.

When Henry was four, he went as a skeleton for Halloween and a mummy for his birthday party. Last year for Halloween, he was a pirate. And we went to a house while we were trick or treating that had someone sitting in front of the garage scaring people (you know…sitting in a chair, acting like a stuffed scarecrow thing until someone gets close and then “AAGH!”). They didn’t actually get near this person, just saw it happen from across the street, and still talked about it for months. They talk about it now when the subject of trick or treating comes up.

They also have various memories that Just. Won’t. Die. from Worlds of Fun and Cracker Barrel.

This year, Henry already has his costume, and I’ve had the costumes for the other three bought since right after Halloween last year (they’ll be a super cute set).

Henry’s birthday falls in the middle of October, and he’ll be seven. For the second time in his short life, he’s decided on a Halloween-themed party, and he’s already planning it. Monday morning, we had a conversation on the way to school about what games we would play.

Regardless of what happens during the party, this guy will be there:

The big three spent the morning with my mom (the resident scarecrow expert) building this guy. I’m not sure what his name is yet. I do know that he was going to have a mask for his face, but apparently, they were all too scary. So, he ended up with a plastic bag/electrical tape face, and a bright red wig. Whatever.

If you come to my house, don’t worry. He’s pretty friendly. Unless he hasn’t had his skull cup full of coffee (and rocks) yet.

Is your family excited for Halloween?

All of these photos were from my phone, and I played around with them in PicMonkey
