HAPPY HALLOWEEN! We had a really great Halloween this year. The kids got to go to three parties and got way more candy than they need. Thursday they got to wear their costumes to school. That evening the school had a "Trunk or Treat" party which seems to be becoming more popular. This is the kids before school. Em, is a Renisance girl, Lacey a Flapper girl.
Mason is a pirate. This is about all of the ARGGG! I gould get him to muster. His Grandma Julie made the costume. (She is so wonderful at sewing.) Mason loved it. Lilly is a bug tonight. Cutest little Lilly-bug.
This is Mason, and Lacey's teacher. She is great, all dressed up and trunk all decked out.
This is the actual Halloween night. With our friends we went to their church for a grand carnival complete with jump houses and games. Then we went to our church and did the "trunk-or treat" thing there. The kids were not quite finished after all of that so we went trick-or-treating in our old neighborhood, said hello to some neighbors, and even got to see inside our old house. The BOYS! My Mason is still not a very scary pirate, but if you look closely he is motioning arggg! Lacey and Aliya. All decked out, A princess and a Flapper girl. Libby, myself and Lilly. Lilly got to be a 50's dancer girl tonight.
This is the after math. As soon as we walked in the door all six kids dumped their bags on the floor and bagan organizing and counting the candy. Emery was way serious about it and counted all 314 pieces of her candy.
This is Lilly amongst the after math. She made her way throught everyone's pile and took a few for herself.
Home is where you can be silent and still be heard. Where you can ask and find out who you are. Where people laugh with you about your self. Where sorrow is divided and joys multiplied. Where we share in love and grow..
