Halloween -- Trick or Treat!

I was pretty sure I hated Halloween earlier this week. I can hardly sneak a shower in the day is so hectic. But by the time the kids were dressed-up, the class party finished, the pumpkins carved, the healthy dinner eaten, and the cute trick-or-treaters launched; I was ready to forgive my children for loving Halloween. They do have such fun. Now it's just a day or two until the sugar detox is complete.
Who is whose? Riley top back. Paker bought an extra and carved the two on the outiside middle row. Aleah's center middle and she pinned her fairy wings on it for a while. Elise is the toothy one left bottom and Cambry the bottom right.
There's one extra here, the frog is my niece, Emily. She is the daughter of Dave's sister Becca who was an indescribable wonder when it came to costumes. She made the fairy dress Aleah is wearing, the frog, and the fun dress Cambry is wearing that has an accessory cloak and clutch. We especially miss her at Halloween.








See, Riley isn't so dimented as his creation may make you wonder.

The joy of having a creative 12 year old boy! The joy of childhood. OK, I don't hate Halloween afterall.

WOW, those are awesome pumpkins and amazing costumes. That is really neat to put Becca's costumes to good use. What a great memory.
