Halloween we hosted good friends for Tortilla soup and trick-or-treating.As you can see I’m making good use out of my kick a&$ leaf bowl. It served as the centerpiece with lil’ clementine jack-o-lanterns, skulls and glow bracelets.
It was Eli’s 3rd year as a pirate, Cora Jane was princess Ariel and Cy was Sebastian the Lobster. Hot Hubby and I were western folk. As you can see I strayed from my matching obsession. I intended for him to be Prince Eric and for me to be Ursula but the kiddos (and hubby) didn’t want me to be the bad guy. So I had to scramble a bit, but it worked out…
Highlights…
~Making a matching mermaid costume for Cora Jane’s favorite doll. Something my mom did for me every year growing up. Of course I did it last minute (3pm) on Halloween day… just like my mom!
~My dad going the wrong way with another group of trick-or-treaters. He didn’t notice he had been chatting up another party for over 100 yards till we flagged him down.
~Cora Jane being escorted by all her grandparents to each house at a snail’s pace. She has them wrapped around her sweet little fingers!
~Eli wanting to go home after about 30 minutes because his feet hurt.
~Making all the kiddos gather into a group shot…
