Liv's haunted house was my most ambitious to date and I am quite proud. As is Abby, who carved hers all by herself for the first time.When Saturday arrived we were busy most of the day building in our family room, but I was determined to celebrate! So out came the costumes and the girls were all dolled up and very pleased with themselves.
Olivia has a love affair with her Jesse doll from Toy Story. When she saw this costume there was no discussion- she would have it for her own.
(Never mind the Lady bug perched on her finger)
Eva declared, yet again, several weeks ago that she was going to be a bat, a spooky bat. So I said, at least you can be a cute little "girly" spooky bat that hangs about the graveyard.
It is really too bad that PG doesn't have an older, more ominous cemetery to accompany THIS kind of attitude!!Abby, after all the butterfly hunting action this summer, was excited to become her most favorite variety- the majestic Monarch.
We sprayed her hair a glittery orange to complete the look.Cory, Jill and clan, made an appearance for the annual costume photos
and then my Dad once again put on his mask and prepared to scare the neighborhood- delightful!!Alas, it was raining, pouring buckets to be exact. However, we weren't going to let a little monsoon deter us from getting some treats, so with our giant sport umbrella in hand we made our way around the streets until Eva was threatening to pee her pants and Liv took a spill down some front steps when she was certain that death was upon her as a little "HotDog" came running out the door towards her!
Oh Halloween, how we love your adventures and simple childhood joy and the lasting memories you leave behind!!

What cute costumes! They are all adorable.
The girls are all so cute. I love how you go all out on the costumes- even red hair. So great!!! Sorry we didn't make it over. My mom didn't have to work and really wanted to take Lincoln trick-or-treating!! I am sad that I missed everyone in all their get-up!
