The Lion Sleeps Tonight...

By some miracle, this costume has lasted through 8 years and 4 children!

Luke's first Trunk-or-Treat and he slept right through it! Which made my job a whole lot easier, considering I still had the other 3 crazies to keep up with. They were all pretty good and seemed to have fun. What's not to love?! Costumes and candy? You can't beat that with a stick!

Madeline is a Water Fairy, costume courtesy of Dani's Sewing School! Madeline and Dani (emphasis on the Dani) made the dress this summer together. Madeline was a little uncertain about wearing it because she was afraid her friends might think it was too babyish, but in the end, she was very proud of it (and I could tell she thought she looked pretty cute...which she did!). (Sidenote: Have you SEEN the trashy options for young girls this year in the Halloween department? Made me stop and be thankful my baby still wanted to be a fairy!)

Water Fairy Madeline, Iron Man Noah, Spiderman Jack, and Lion Luke:

Black cat sticker: 10 cents
Pink vampire teeth: 25 cents
Giving your brother bunny ears: PRICELESS!
Love the pile 'o kids and their expressions here:

This is one of my favorite pictures ever...I have no idea what she's laughing at, but I don't really even care!

Happy Halloween! (known around our house as "Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet")
