We had so much fun Halloween. Chris joined us for the evening. I think he had more fun than the kids. It is one of the only nights of the year that we get to meet all of the neighbors. He scored a hotdog at one house and a beer at another. It was good to be him. He didn’t even need candy after that. We had some dilemmas that afternoon before we went trick-or-treating. Ainsley decided that she wanted to be Princess Leia also. In reality, she wanted to be a princess named Leia. She doesn’t even know who Princess Leia is! So it took some convincing, but she decided to wear the really cool red glitter shoes that goes with the Dorothy costume. I made that Dorothy costume for Madie when she was three. Ainsley is getting to wear it now. I used to make all of their costumes. This is the first year that I bought some costumes. But I was so glad that the wee one got to wear one that I made.
I went to go find photos from 2004 when Madie wore the costume. I also found photos of what Ben wore. Chris made so much fun of the lamb costume that I made for Ben. I thought it was cute. Chris thinks that this will be one of those photos that we can use as blackmail photos when he is 18. I still think he is adorable!

I agree with Chris. Reminds me of the pink rabbit pjs the poor kid gets in A Chirstmas story.
You know . . . I think the lamb costume will fit Gordon. I’ll try it on him the next time he is here and send you a picture. I am sure he will look just as adorable!
Um, no thanks. Momma veto here! We’ll save it for a Christmas program for little Grace.
Ben did look cute though.
