Halloween Phase I

The kids before the ward trunk or treat.

 Adam was a green super hero.

Various parts of this ensemble have been rotating into his daily wear.

 Eliza's costume was not finished so she wore a tutu from Ms. Sally's treasure.

 Grace was a fairy.  The wings lasted about 5 minutes, until she buckle her seatbelt.

 Jacob was Indiana Jones, simple yet classic.

Merry was a peacock.  Fortunately she did not sound like one.

Eliza is 10 months and random October

 Eliza turned 10 months.

She has 8 teeth and eats just about anything.

Pom-poms from my craft room are her favorite, there is an orange on in her hands.

She can clap, wave and mimic her older siblings.

She is much too fast for pictures.

 Grace took her first field trip to the pumpkin patch.

She learned that the pumpkins were grown in New Mexico by the Navajo Indians.  

Very cool fact, I didn't know that.

Miss Sally's treasures

Merry and Grace's dance studio is owned by a lady named Miss Sally. She has a whole house full of costumes next to the studio that she rents for the recitals. Any way she had her annual costume sale this weekend and we scored some awesome $5 costumes.

Grace picked a white fluffy costume.

Jacob photo bombing Grace.

I guess I will take a picture of you too even though you are not in costume.

Merry scored this awesome Americana body suit. Did I mention that Miss Sally has been teaching since 1964?

Now I bet you are wondering where you could use an outfit like this. If you are 7 this is considered dance wear, lounge wear, out and about wear, pretty much anywhere. Don't worry we have lots more costumes to be featured at a later date. I did not get a picture of the Heidi tutu or pink and black rumba costume that went to Chile to my sister's girls. I will have to charge her with the task.

Where was Eliza during the photo shoot?

Entertaining herself with her reflection.

Does this count as washing the windows?
