happy halloween

the kids picked the easiest costumes ever this year

noah was a ghost

 we bought this butterfly costume on clearance a few years ago and hazel never wore it

so i was glad olive decided to wear it

and i'm really glad she got past wanting to be a cinderella mermaid...sounds hard..

hazel wanted to be a witch

i planned on making her costume but our friend lent us one instead

easy peasy

 i made myself a bat cape

 i'm going to be 18 weeks tomorrow

holla

 we decided to make eleanor a black cat to go with hazel being a witch

she's so cute

i might put whiskers on her every day :) 

 i made michael a vampire cape using the same fabric as my wings

which happened to be a black sheet from the as-is section of ikea

 we went to the kids' school for their costume parade

 and ran a booth at the carnival

it was such a fun day

we didn't plan on michael skipping school altogether but with olive having speech this morning

and volunteering at the kids' school...it was so nice to have him with us

after their school we went to martial arts and then home to eat pizza and go trick or treating

i even decorated the door a little

the trick or treaters got a kick out of it

and just for fun... a picture of the kids early yesterday morning in their halloween clothes

they were still a little sleepy if you couldn't tell
