Halloween

The kids had such a great time this year for Halloween! McKenna was a Fairy Princess, Meghan, a ballerina mouse, Mitchell, Dash from Incredibles and Claire a pea in the pod. It was actually pretty warm here. The first above freezing Halloween I can recall since we've had kids! So...no arguements about wearing turtle necks under costumes, or coats on top that "ruin the way it looks!" It was wonderful. It did rain off and on, but it was so nice to NOT be freezing that I didn't even mind the rain. I took the kids trick or treating and Hans held down the fort at home with Claire. A great time was had by all!

The kids right before trick or treating. Mitch and Meggie didn't have their "Dash" and mouse gloves on, but oh well, at least I got a picture of all of them. That was a Herculean act in and of itself!



My little Sweet Pea. Doesn't Claire make a great pea in the pod?

So.. I had this most clever idea of Hans and I dressing up like Farmers and Claire would be our crop. McKenna thought I should tape smarties all over my jeans and go as a "smarty pants." But, in the craziness of all that's been going on in our lives lately, we didin't have time to put it all together. We ended up being party-pooper parents and didn't dress up at all.
