I know, I can't believe it either! I am posting my Halloween pictures 2 weeks after the event rather than two MONTHS later! Unfortunately, I had to endure my computer screaming at me during the entire photo upload, reminding me that I am low on disk space and need to delete old and unused files. Oh well, they are on my computer now.
As I mentioned before, we sort of scrounged things up last minute...I am especially thankful to my SIL, Nickie, for letting me borrow not one, but two of the costumes worn by my lovelies...the Belle princess costume and the Auburn (I know, I can't believe I'm letting her wear it either) cheerleading outfit. I made Grace's Thing 2 costume and Mason pulled out some hunting clothes. Voila...Halloween 2011!
We were invited to the Malones for Halloween. The food was great! The kids loved the hayride and really just getting to be together. Watching them race from house to house all packed together reminded me of my days of Trick or Treating with all my friends in my neighborhood.
Poor Annaliesse...after hitting about half a dozen houses she was getting tired. I reminded her that she probably didn't have much candy yet so she looked in her bag ready to argue with me and with great surprise said, "You know, you are right!" I peered in and saw that she had even less than I expected...I looked behind us and saw a trail of candy. She had dragged her bag along the ground and put a big hole in it. She was losing as much candy as she was getting...
Once again Aunt NickNick came to the rescue and gave her another bag. By this time everyone else was waaaaayyy ahead of us and she had a lot of ground to cover to make up for her loss. The hayride had continued on to keep up with the others so she was forced to walk the whole way...I know, terrible isn't it, having to actually w-a-l-k!
About halfway back to Jeff and Kara's she informed me that "candy is very unhealthy for you" and "why do we do this anyway?" !! :) Fortunately, for her, she has three older siblings who were happy to share their candy with her!
Grace and Carley wanted to go as Thing 1 and Thing 2. Grace chose Thing 2... unfortunately they didn't actually Trick or Treat together so she did kind of look funny without her Thing 1 with her :)
Mason has plenty of experience being a hunter!
Thank you Nickie!! Roo looks beautiful in her Princess Belle costume! For her though, the best part was the make-up!!
Yeah, I don't really know where the whole "War Eagle" thing came from...I guess she is just showing her rebellion early in life. I'm hoping she'll get it all out of her system now! Bailey, maybe you can talk some sense into her!
