Happy Halloween, 2009!

We had a wild crew this year!

The kids took a huge role in creating their costumes this year. It was so much fun to see their own characters and strengths come through in their designs. We had...

The Butterfly Princess, who put together her entire ensemble, herself. Yes, even the boots.


The Headless Horseman, who came up with some fantastic ways to make it happen.

El Conquistador, who took over, well, not quite Florida, but most of Morgan County.

Our latest Harry Potter... oh, he's breaking my heart! When did he get so tall and slender?



And, the Running Man.

OK, also a turtle, but although the outfit was cute as can be, it took an act of God to get him into that thing, even for a little bit.


It was good. Costume bits are still part of the daily attire. Somehow, in spite of being given free rein with the candy, they've still got scads of it left. And, they had FUN. It was, indeed, a Happy Halloween.

Kiss those babies!

They're all very cute, but that headless horseman is fantastic! And where did Harry Potter's cute little chubby cheeks go? They should not be allowed to lose the baby fat!

Dy, I am holding you and your pictures personally responsible if I lose my head and decide to get pregnant RIGHT NOW to try for a girl. Just so you know. :)

Jenni, he did do a good job w/ it, didn't he? The bit of vertebrae showing at the top was of particular pride, to him. (I'm thinking he is far beyond the "dress 'em up cute for halloween" stage, huh? It's just going to get more "creative" from here on out, isn't it?)

Emily, you guys would make the *cutest* little girl!! I say go for it! (Easy for me to say, from this side of the whole thing.)
