Halloween

On Halloween, we went to church in the morning, then back that night for a carnival. Caroline wore our bee costume that every one of our kids have worn. She was so pleased with her costume and wore it the next several days around the house, and our walks to school in the mornings!


Austin was Anakin Skywalker, and Lauren was Rosetta the garden fairy, Tinkerbell's friend.

Rosetta has kind of reddish brown hair, so I sprayed Lauren's hair red with glitter. It turned out reeeeeeally red! She was pretty tickled with it.

Julia was a Southern belle. When she dressed up for school she said she was Elizabeth, Felicity's friend from the American Girl books. One shot of the whole group together before we left for the carnival. They were not to patient for pictures. They wanted to hurry up and get to the games and candy!

Caroline didn't want to cooperate at all. She was much more interested in anything besides pictures.

I think she was overwhelmed at the carnival. She had fun playing a few games, but did not understand she couldn't eat her candy right then and there. There was quite a bit of crying. The big kids all had a good time. We ate dinner there, and they played all the games. Julia won a cake in the cakewalk. They bounced a lot in the bounce house. Brian had a shift watching the bounce house, and the kids bounced the whole time he was there! They all got a ton of candy and had to sort it all out the next day, to see what they got. :)
