Happy Halloween

Our Family on Halloween

Cinderella (Maddison)  

She loved going from house to house and getting the candy.  She kept wanting to stop and see what was in her bag.  Her favorite treat was a plastic ring.  The innocence of little ones.

Captain America (John Derek)  

He ran from house to house at top speed.  He couldn't wait to finish one house and move onto the next.

Getting Ready for Halloween

Cat Mama!! (Lexia)

When I first put this costume on Maddison said, "WOW!!" "Mommy, you be my cat."  

"Okay, meow."

"Kneel down like this" getting on all fours.

"No this cat is a mommy cat and mommy cat's don't crawl."
"Yes they do." she said.

"Well I have a baby so I can't crawl."

"But babbies crawl.  Like this . . ."

She crawled all over the floor and pretended to lick her paws.

"Well this mommy doesn't crawl."

 Ghost (Elizabeth)

She kept wondering why people kept not believing that she was a ghost.  We told her it was because she was too beautiful to be a ghost.  She said that next year she wants to be something so that everyone knows who she is supposed to be.  She still had a blast and even brought along an empty bag so that when her first got too full she could fill the second.

Bat (Samantha)

She began the day as a fairy with wings and a wand but decided to be a little more scary and took off the fairy wings to become a bat.  At one point while trick or treating she was running, fell and hurt her ankle.  After that she decided to take the evening a little slower much to the relief of her mother.

 Jock (Derek)

After a mild concussion yesterday he is already to get back onto the playing field.  I am grateful he isn't going out for the football team.

 Happy Halloween.  We hope you all had a wonderful time.  We love you.
