A scary, silly, sweet, ghastly, goulie, oh so cute costume parade!

So, let's see 'um! Share your Halloween cuties here. I will share later...we eeked out the kids Halloween Parade at school today. We are getting high winds and showers from Noel but the parade went on. No trick or treating in the neighborhood tonight...however our local Publix is having it for the kids and our whole neighborhood is going...so it should be fun and make for some intersting pictures!

I was not going to take Bella out - she's too young, don't want her to have candy, crappy weather, etc etc - but her nanny's nanny friend called and said her little charge (Sophia, 6) wanted Bella so I ran home, got the princess dress and met them. The weather held up, and Bella was adorable running after the big kids in her dress! She was very into getting the candy and dropping it into her bag - I confiscated it afterwards and she was none the wiser. Sophia's Mom took pics, I hope she sends them to me today!

Ha! OK I thought I confiscated all the candy! Bella wakes up this morning and nothing, nothing will do but to put on her dress - so, ok. Then the stray piece of candy........yes, I let her have it! I hope I can post these in order - this is too funny.

The Rockin' 50's are Alive and Well!

I was sooooo glad that Anya wanted to be a 50's girl~! The costumes that I saw of girls younger and the same age as Anya where disgusting! Way too Hotsie Totsie! Who knows what she will want to be next year (age 12), but if I have my way (as another poster mentioned), she will be a SACK OF POTATOES!

Here's a picture of the kids in front of our house with my mom and our dog before trick or treating yesterday.

And a few at Grandpa's.

Yeah!!! We get to participate........still hasn't sunk in I guess that we are finally on this side of it all!!!

Ours were a dog (little girl) and a monkey (little boy), although its hard to tell in many of the shots......Little girl was not too excited about the process (as shown), and in a sweet moment, big brother tried to make her feel better by hugging her......after a few minutes all was good and it was go time!!!
