We had so much fun on Halloween! We went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood, spent some time at our ward's Halloween party, and ended the evening at our friends/neighbors' house for pumpkin pie and conversation. I love what each of our kids chose to be...their costumes reflect their current interests and personalities. Grace, of course, was Hermione Granger from her beloved
Harry Potter books. Eve was "Shaun the Sheep," the title character from her favorite show. And Daphne was simply a lizard. I'm not sure where she even came up with this idea, but when asked several weeks ago what she wanted to dress up as, she matter-of-factly declared "lizard" without any hesitation. For all I know she spotted a lizard on a rock just before our conversation, or perhaps she was recently playing with her plastic reptiles;whatever the reason, it stuck...and no matter how many times I asked over the next few weeks she was firm in her decision! Here is what I came up with for each of their requests:
Aaron and I decided to do a throw-back to the 1940's: A World War II Army private and "Rosie the Riveter" (you know, that female factory worker on the "We Can Do It" propaganda poster.) This was a lot of fun!
and so was this...
Happy Halloween from our family to yours!
