The kids are feeling a lot better today. Aden still seems to be a little out of it, but Keira seems to be doing a lot better. I think a day (Sunday) of just being home and resting helped a lot.

Keira had school today and got to wear her costume. She was so excited. "Mom, do you think Seth will like my costume?" Then we came home (the kids wore their costumes the rest of the day), ate supper and went trick-or-treating about 6:30. It was such a nice night. Keira asked Siri what the weather was and it said 64 degrees.

Kids' Halloween costumes.....

Spiderman Aden

 Lady bug Taygen

Ladybug, Belle, and Spiderman

We don't carve pumpkins, never have. That's just not something we do. The first year we decided to have pumpkins for them, Keira and Aden just drew on them with permanent markers. This year I got some stickers from Oriental Trading to stick on their pumpkins and make faces. Here are some pictures of them working on them.

Each of their pumpkins already had paint on them from art class, they just put the faces over the paint (dry).

When you are a little kid it is so hard to decide what you want to be for Halloween. You have all these options, for girls it is princesses, butterflies, bees, cute little kittens, etc. For boys, it's Super Troopers, Cars, Spider Man, Elmo, etc.


Aden knew right away that he wanted to be Spider Man (that's his favorite show).  Taygen is going to be a lady bug, she didn't get to decide this year, but next year she will definitely be interested in deciding. Now, Keira was the difficult one when choosing which costume to wear. She wanted to be a princess, then we saw her costume from last year (good witch, of course :) ) and she wanted to be that again. Then we saw a butterfly costume at the store and she wanted to be that for a couple minutes then changed her mind back to princess, I think a princess was in the back of her mind all along, she was just keeping her options open. She finally made up her mind and we came home with a "Belle" princess costume.

Pictures to follow after Halloween!
