scary good fun

Halloween was a lot of fun again this year. Audrey knew what she wanted to be and all I had to make was the tutu. She is "Ladybug Girl" from the books by Jacky Davis. Yes, the real Ladybug Girl has a red tutu, but I foresee much more versatility with a black one, so I made the executive decision. Audrey didn't mind at all!

I steered Miles toward his costume a little, but it wasn't difficult to convince him to be a Jedi Knight. We borrowed the robe from a neighbor and used it again the next day for his school All Saints' Day activities. I love pulling together a costume from what we have. He thought the camo jammie pants and skull & crossbone boots lent a little extra fierceness to the look.

We started at a party down the street with hot dogs, homemade petro's and lots of other goodies. The kids had a blast with their friends and even made some new friends.

Later we hopped on the hayride again for a trip down the street. I think our crowd overwhelmed a few houses as the swarm of 30+ kids came begging. We wrapped up a little after 7 and sat down for the Halloween math homework: counting and sorting. We only had a few more knocks before it was lights out for our little ones.

Thanks to the Youngs, Hemricks and Ackers for the party and hayride fun!
