Happy Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun. We went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood with the Humphery's family. While out, we joined the Monsons and their two boys, then the Williams and their three girls, the Nichols and their three children, and some of their friends. We ended up with a HUGE group that probably scared the people whose doors we were knocking on because of the massive numbers of children in our group. Remember, in my neck of the woods you have a lot of children if you have three! It was a lot of fun for all the children, but so hard for me to keep track of my five. Danielle liked the front of the group and Spencer hung in the back with Camie and Taneal somewhere in between. Nathan slept through the first part of it and woke after a while. I wish I had a picture of that scene, the one where Nathan wanted attention and Danielle and Spencer were too tired to walk: Nathan in the front carrier and Danielle and Spencer in the stroller. My muscles were sore the next day. But hey, Halloween is for the children (or at least it should be, you should have seen the teens and adults dressed up--scary).

So now to the costumes. Taneal and Danielle were princesses. Spencer has been trying to dress up in the girls dresses, so I thought if I made him a "prince" costume out of the same fabric, he would wear boy dress ups instead of girls. It seemed to work, he was happy with his prince costume. I made Camie a princess costume and then she changed her mind. I refused to make her a witch costume after I had already spent all that time on her other costume. So, she still wore the dress and put on a hat and some green face paint and a nose and made the princess costume into the witch she wanted. I love that part of Camie. Nathan was Frankenstein, the same costume Spencer wore when he was a baby, and still so cute.
