Fall Fun!!

Well, here they are!! We had a great time last night trick-or-treating. Since we live in the middle of nowhere, some friends of ours invited us over to join in their festivities. They also don't live in a subdivision but see one out their back door, so we loaded the kids up into the trailer filled with hay and headed out into the night.
The girls (minus our oldest) had great plans for weeks- each knew exactly what she wanted to be. That is, until around noon yesterday. Why is it that my girls always do this? Probably because I let them! The only reasons they were able to change this time was because we have an over abundance of dress-up clothes and I didn't have to do much.
Our youngest changed from a snow princess to a dog. The princess costume was a little big anyway (save for next year? yeah right, that will change 100 times!!!) so all we had to do was cut some spots out of felt (which I already had) and put a few stitches through them to the sweatshirt. Done and very easy!
As you can see from the pictures, our middle child is such a free spirit. She was going to be a cheerleader (boring!) but instead decided to be a gypsy at exactly 3:37 yesterday afternoon!!! Thank goodness for lots of skirts and lots of costume jewelry! And the beauty of it all is that nothing had to match. She was so excited about her costume (as you can see) and had a blast wearing it. It totally fits her personality!
