Halloween 2008

We had a great time celebrating Halloween for several weeks this year. It is one of Coeli's favorite times (what else would you expect from the Candy Queen?) and the kids, too. Memom and Pop Pop gave the girls these adorable Hello Kitty Skeleton Bone Glitter shirts and they loved wearing them together.

Addison had a "Pumpkin Party" - no, you can not call it a Halloween Party these days! - at her school. Beforehand, she was very excited for Mommy to wear the Big Ballerina costume, but when Coeli actually showed up wearing it, she was mortified. How is that possible at four years old?!

Next was Kieran's party, and while Mommy had great intentions of Kiki being a spider just like her big brother and sister were at her age, once she saw the pumpkin there was no stopping her. Never mind the fact that it is intended for a 6-12 month old! Take note of the pumpkin hat as it is still being seen in our house and it is now post-Christmas!

We finally got to Halloween night and ended up with Belle from Beauty & the Beast, Darth Vadar, and a Pumpkin. The funny news was that the Belle costume was from last Christmas, Darth Vadar was from Evan, the boy next door, and the Pumpkin was from last Halloween. Actually, it started out as Logan's first costume in 2002! The Wagners made out rather cheap this year!

Coeli and Tim (!) dressed up this year and went as the Big Chefs (thanks to the Schoepf's for the lenders). Addison was ok with the adult costumes this time out and Tim had fun despite teasing from the neighbors (they were actually quite envious - you can hide a lot of candy in those big costumes, you know!).

These are some of our neighbor girls looking lovely.

One of our favorite times is coming home and dumping everything out on the table. Their buckets were overflowing this year!
