We took the girls out to get Halloween costumes tonight. It alwasy makes me a little sad to buy a costume. When I was a kid we always made them and had to be creative with what we had around the house. Now, you just walk in the store and it is all ready for you. So, it is easier this way, but I think a little of the fun is gone. -Sigh-
Oh well, I still love Halloween! I love the kids excitement and the shrieks of joy as they run from house to house. IT is so fun to see the kids dressed up and excited. I also love Trunk or Treat at church. IT is a great chance to see all the kids there and talk with the parents. Fun, Fun, Fun!
I do love this time of year!
P.S. - Just thought I would share a couple of pictures of Halloweens Past. If you want to know what the girls are this year, you'll just have to wait until the 31st!

I love those pics. Especially the one of Sam & Liv as pink fairies and Julia flashing her underwear.
They are just the cutest! Time flies Jeri...flies fast, glad you are taking pictures and savoring the memories! You have a sweet family indeed!
Julia learned that trick from her Dad. Some habits are tough to break...
My mom and I were just talking about the same thing -- how we actually had to make our Halloween costumes back then. I made the boys' for the past few years and am actually sort of excited to have them be something that people don't have to ask what it is!! We have the same Halloween blog background! Good taste, girl!
They are all so cute. I hear you on the costumes. Spending crazy money on a piece of nylon that isn't even hemmed. Maybe next year will be our year to be creative homemade costume moms. And you know the kids would hate it!! xoxo
My budget for halloween costumes this year is ZIP-idydooda...should be interesting!!...Homemade specials for sure!! I know you can't wait to see us at the party.... You would love living in the low country (as they call it in the South). Maybe one day we'll start a new ward out there filled with Lexington transplants!
