so I do have to say that everyone was a little bummed about Halloween falling on a Sunday this year…we have a great neighborhood and we always like being out and visiting with our neighbors door to door. However I must say that because we do believe in keeping the Sabbath Day holy…the kids understood and really didn’t pout too much. I guess the positive thing is the next time it falls on a Sunday, they will all be too old to care about Trick or Treating anyway. Trent hit that milestone this year…mostly because of his own personal choice, but also because we have often thought it rediculous that groups of older children go door to door for candy, so we set an age limit for our kids…12!!
So the girls were all excited about the church party this year since that was pretty much gonna be Halloween for them, and talked about their costumes FOR-EV-ER!!
Brianna wanted at first to be a pioneer…but after I thought about all the work to make everything just right, and since time is at a premium and I really needed to BUY a costume (ick I know, I haven’t bought costumes in years) we decided on the Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz costume. Which she wears perfectly, she was definitley a little cutie!
She even had her little dog Toto in a basket and check out those ruby shoes!!! she gots lots of comments at the church party, mostly that she looks so much like me with makeup on, and I agree!!
Courtney’s costume was easy enough…I don’t think she really had any idea what she wanted to be, until one of her friends from church decided that a poodle skirt and ponytails like the 50′s would be fun. So us mom’s got together with some felt, scissors and sewing machines to whip upp a poodle skirt…which is super easy because it is basically a big circle with a waist! she looked so cute and very authentic with her little shoes and everything!
When we arrived at the church we were able to visit with some good friends and just hang out for a while…the trunk or treating was fun too! the rest are just pictures of us hangin out! and you will see some bad photography here, so be kind!(mostly eyes closed, but there are some blurry photos too)
this is me and Joel, he’s the little guy that I babysat from 6 weeks, until about 18 months…I can’t believe he has gottne so big..he was a private investigator too cute!
cute girls out trunk or treating!
Brianna and friends…
Courtney and her poodle girl pal, Tori!
Brianna is so cute!!!
Courtney didn’t eat at home so she could partake of the chili fest…it looked good!
So that pretty much sums it up! how many sets of closed eyes did you find?
now that Halloween is over we can move on to the thankful season and count our blessings…we are defintley blessed as a family!
