There were quite a few pics to show you so I put them in a slide show to make things more amusing...not that they weren't amusing to begin with!! Liam knew before anyone that he wanted to be Spiderman. He was very set on that. Tayler didn't know what she wanted to be...she didn't like anything she saw until she spotted the Bratz Bat costume. It was all over from there. Max wanted to be something spooky...that's all he knew. So we got a spooky mask and little robe, but if you ask me, he was too stinkin' cute to be scary (I just won't tell him that)! Abby Gracie didn't have trouble finding a costume. Quite frankly, she wanted to be everything! She's definitely not hard to please. As long as she looked "pretty", that was all that mattered. So, she picked out what she believed was the "prettiest" outfit there (meaning the one with the most fabric, lace, sparkly doo dads, etc.).
Halloween day/night were very different this year because Scotty was away on a business trip. The kids were very disappointed when they heard Daddy couldn't take them trick-or-treating. Hopes for a super-fun evening were renewed, however, when they found out that a couple of their friends, Hunter and Courteney, were going to be able to trick-or-treat with them. In addition, Grandpa and Grandma D., Uncle Bud, and a special visitor, Great Grandpa H., were going to be able to come help us keep our minds off missing Daddy. That was very helpful!
During the afternoon, I took the kids for a special afternoon outing to Sweet Tomatoes (in their costumes they were itching to finally wear), and we met Grandpa and Grandma D. and Uncle Bud there.
It was a very unusual Halloween this year, but it turned out to be alright. The kids and I sure appreciated everybody that helped make our day/evening a special one. Thank you!
Love,
Kimi
