Happy Halloween!

Tradition in the hood - our neighborhood kicks off trick-or-treating with a little celebration and parade in the parking lot of the club house. The costumes are judged and prizes are awarded - Parker won a huge candy bar. :) Just what he needs in addition to his pillow case filled with candy. We jumped right into the festivities this year with all three kiddos. Parker wouldn't hear of missing it so, although I'm not the holiday's biggest fan, we got them all dressed with little effort this year. My friend Cindy had sent a cute little kitty costume that CoraLeigh had worn, Carter received the hand me down race car driver costume from his big brother and Parker finally decided the night before that he would be a LaCrosse player skeleton. It was not as challenging as I expected to find some black clothing to paint. Kohl's had a great sale on long underwear and they had plenty of black. Annette went with me to find supplies at Michael's and we were able to get face paint and white fabric paint to bring the whole thing together. It turned out pretty well and he wasn't too scary.
