Halloween

Hello........I am still alive!  I have treated this blog much like any and every journal I have ever started.  Lots and lots of posts for a while and then nothing.  I'm sure that when I go back to read the things I wrote in high school I will always wonder what I was thinking for the second half of every year.  So, rather than try to catch up on what we have been doing for the last 6 months, I am just jumping in and sharing some pics from Halloween.  The theme this year was as little effort for costumes as absolutely necessary.  Emma borrowed her elf costume from someone at church who supplies the Christmas elf costumes......it was pretty cute, even if totally random.  Eli wore his pirate costume from a few years ago, thankfully it still fit.....barely!  He love the new Disney show, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, so it was perfect.  Halle found a dragon costume from the dress-up bin in the basement which was warm and comfortable even if lacking in creativity.  Jordan wanted to use a mustache so we came up with Pancho Villa and just borrowed a few things to put it together.  Easy!  We have plenty of candy left over, I am putting away a large stash of it to bring to basketball/baseball games so we can avoid spending a fortune on the snack bar.  Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!
