Halloween 2014

Halloween with little ones is SO fun, but oh so tiring. Getting them ready, making sure costumes are good to go, going to parades, helping in classrooms...all before getting them fed and ready to go out the door is a wee bit tiring. But, I love it. This year Claire wanted to be a Cheetah - and those that know her, were not surprised by that. And, Lilly chose Maleficent. She has loved sleeping beauty since she was a little girl, then when we were on our cruise we saw the new Maleficent movie, and she went crazy for it. She knew that's what she wanted to be as soon as she saw it. The only problem...there were hardly any costumes. So, I had to make her costume. It didn't turn out great, but good enough for one night! We had a fun and busy day with school parades and classroom parties, then I cooked my usual for dinner...chili and cornbread. After dinner we met up with our friends and off we went! We took turns going this year. I went with my friend Brooke, her boys and my girls...then we walked home, and let the guys take them. It was perfect! It was such a gorgeous night, I didn't even need a jacket. The girls loaded up on candy, and had a blast going from door to door!! It was certainly a successful and fun Halloween!!
