Rewind to Halloween





Just a flashback to Halloween--just gotta post these fun pictures for posterity's sake. I doctored up Paige's costume which we found at D.I., adding flowers and wings, etc to create the ultimate "Garden Fairy"--her idea and created under her expert supervision. She declares that she is no longer a fan of the color pink, but it was okay since this was a fairy and fairies can be pink.

Trevor went through a few costumes changes that I had in my stash--first Buzz Lightyear, then a cowboy and finally settled on the most comfortable and form-fitting, Spiderman (though he refused on the mask!)

Preston was originally a pirate, but spied his old Superman costume in the costume box from last year and insisted on wearing it again.
We were invited to a chili dinner at our neighbors across the street, the Burnes. There were a couple of families there and the kids had fun playing and eating. That was followed by the inevitable sugar-fest, known as trick-or-treating, at a neighborhood a few streets over where they do a whole Halloween festival with hay rides, costume contests, etc. Steve took over from there as I was not up for the trek. Everyone had a great time that night, and due to careful monitoring over their daily sugar intake, we actually still have candy leftover as they slowly milk their Halloween baskets :)
