Halloween!

We got hit by Hurricane Sandy just a little bit the past few days.  We've seen lots of rain and crazy winds.  Our power went out a few times, but only for a little bit.  Lincoln and Graham said it's because they prayed.  Thanks guys.  The kids are so lucky because school has been cancelled the past two days!  Yesterday it was due to the weather.  Today it's because their school has no power!  The sad thing is that Trick-or-treating has been postponed until Sunday.  We asked the kids if we should go on Sunday and they said No.  I love them.  We are going to have a family party instead filled with carving pumpkins, a spooky dinner, trick or treating to the bedrooms, and our traditional Night Before Christmas movie night.  I could get used to this!  

The kids have been able to dress up a few times already.  Luckily there was no rain and we took our pictures then!  Here are my little cuties all dressed up and ready to party!

Jayne:  Strawberry Shortcake


Peter:  Charlie Brown


Graham: a vampire


Lincoln:  a zombie


Grace:  a nice witch

I love my kiddos.  And I'm so happy that they appreciate that I make their costumes for them.  Year after year I hear them saying, "We're so lucky our mom makes our costumes."  It makes all the stress worth it.

Great costumes! Your kids are all such great models for the camera too! I'll bet they had a great night despite Sandy disrupting things a bit.

Those costumes are SO great. I'm very impressed. I just love Halloween, I'm so happy when people get into it. And I love those pictures, your kids really nailed those poses.
