Kids Don’t Wanna Be Cute (On Halloween)

by Heather on October 21, 2011

in Spohr TV

Halloween is only ten days away, so I’ve been talking to Annie about potential costume ideas. It should surprise no one that my little fashionista has VERY strong ideas about what she does…or does not…want to be for Halloween.


if you can’t see the video above, click here.

Sorry Annie, but you look cute even when you’re scary.

I love to dress my little girl with witch costume, but she likes to be a fairy on Halloween. So I have this Princess Fiona Costume and hopes she will like this. It’s a surprise for her…

Okay….my new favourite!! Loved her little expression in the pumpkin costume. Lets face it though…the kid looks CUTE in EVERYTHING she wears!!

2 questions…..

#1 – Just how many costumes DO you own? WOW!!! I have 3 kids plus we do foster care and we don’t even have that many costumes! ha ha They were great…all of them!!!

#2 – No offense but what the hell was Mike doing with his face at the end of the video? Is that his scary face?!?!? Ha ha ha

Bravo my friends!!! Great, great job on this production!! I CAN’T Wait to show my kids when they get up!! They are HUGE Spohr fans…..must run in the family!! ;-) Happy Halloween Friends!!! As always, THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

HOW was Annie not scared of Mike in his makeup? LOL. I would have been scared, and I’m a wee bit older than Annie. ;)

That is the best video yet, I think! :D

Annie watched Mike as Heather applied the makeup or it would have never worked. She did give him the hard stare a couple of times but whenever he shook his face Annie couldn’t control her laughter.

I love your family. Y’all are just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. These videos are always adorable.

Also, Annie is such a doll. I keep thinking she can’t get any cuter, but then she does. How is that even possible?!?!

I hope she and y’all have a wonderful Halloween.

This was so freakin adorable!! I can feel it…one day Annie is gonna be a star, you can see it written all over her face! My Boys are 23 and 17 so those cute days are over, but funny thing is they actually wanyed to all carve pumpkins together but wanted nothing to do with it when they were little…. you guys are so talented and funny, did you actually write that song??? If so that is GREAT!!! I could see that on the Disney Channel or Nick Jr. You guys need to start writing for tv…seriously!!! Happy Halloween!!!

OMG. I didn’t think you guys could top last year’s Halloween video (I STILL get that song stuck in my head sometimes!) but somehow you did it. Well played, Spohrs. Well played.

29 Marie October 21, 2011 at 9:03 am

She obviously hated the dalmatian costume so I’d scratch that one and go for either Dorothy which she seemed to love or the little purple skirt with the skeleton shirt. Adorable! But you don’t want her crying.
Loved the ruby slippers!

Yea! Love Annie dancing, so cute. She looked scrumptious in every single costume. YOu should take her out the whole weekend so she can debut her cuteness!

It’s so precious that Annie mouths the words and dances along now. The costumes are all great. My daughter wore her Halloween costumes year round, every day was dress up day around here for years. She had a giant box of dress up clothes and costume jewelry. You guys have fun dressing up with that cutie!

Heather dear, your costumes and gravestones look suspiciously like those I have up in MY house!
(by the way, the stakes on those gravestones STINK, I cannot get them to stay put in the grass)

Im guessing you’re another one of those people that cannot leave a Target without spending $100 or more like me?!

47 Michele October 21, 2011 at 2:35 pm

THAT cracked me up. And I must be a very sick person to say the best part was Annie crying wearing the Dalmation costume. ;-)

That was the cutest video ever. I love watching your movies. I asked you before, but I forgot, are you just using windows live movie maker? How do you do the voice overs then? I’m looking to create awesome videos of my kids, just like you, but not sure what software to get. I’m not looking for anything complicated.

Reply

55 Mike October 21, 2011 at 9:13 pm

Hi Clara,

We use iMovie (since we have Macs) and it has all the bells and whistles to do voice overs, title cards, transitions, etc. I think you can do all that stuff too with Windows Live Movie Maker (although I am not familiar with it). Sometimes it just takes some getting used to using these programs which can be kind of complicated. I just found this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCCMs5rDeN4 for a YouTube video on how to do voice over with windows live movie maker. There likely are other vids there to help you understand how it works. Good luck!

I must say…ever since LAST YEAR…I randomly bust out in, “I don’t know what to be for Halloween…” and my kids (ages 8, 4, and 2) love it! They always want to know when there is a new video of Annie! Thanks…she really does have serious fans out here in the world!! :)

Reply

65 Molly October 29, 2011 at 4:35 pm

ALSO-hey-could you tell us the story behind Annie BAWLING in the dalmation costume?! Did she really hate it that much?? It was pathetically adorable!

Reply

66 Mike October 29, 2011 at 4:46 pm

Hi Molly,

For whatever reason Annie was NOT a fan of that costume! And then we took her outside to film and it only made things worse (as you saw). We quickly went inside and took the dog costume off and she was our happy kid again!
