Boo! again

I failed at squeezing in all the fall-related posts!  Oh well.....


From what I've seen, lambs were a popular costume this year. 

Betcha didn't see one (the costume OR the child wearing it) as cute as this though:







A lamb, with a matching treat sack no less!  Those things cost me a pretty penny but I loved them.

Mariah denied my costume idea for her (an owl) and chose instead to be an angel.   She squeezed into the flower girl dress that Arissa wore at age 5, I found a halo here and some wings there, ordered her personalized treat sack from and she was all set:













Arissa chose to be a bee when she saw a set of wings & antennae at the dollar store.  I ended up picking up two more sets of them at different places, cause they were cute, and she finally ended up wearing these.  There was supposed to be a black & yellow tutu to go with it but I failed and didn't get it made.









Love this shot:







Halloween won't be the same anymore unless their treat sacks match their costumes!












Setting out to get their treats:










Arissa's shoe gave her problems so Jesse had to carry her on the way back.







We stopped by Nana's after we'd collected as much candy as we could:







And then finally by Nina's to end the night:







It was a fun night, and the girls got enough candy to last them a week (which was the amount of time I gave them to eat it before I threw it all out).

It was the first Halloween in several years that no one was violently ill (click the link if you don't remember).  We came pretty close though, all of us had a stomach flu the entire weekend but when it was time to dress up, out health was restored thankgoodness.
