Halloween Fun

My kids pick their costumes for odd reasons. Both boys set the standard for their look to be anything where they could wear shorts and a t-shirt. Jon chose to be "birthday boy". We had to buy the balloon and the pin labeling him as the birthday boy. Original, eh?! Brandon's Charlie Brown is recycled from last year. And Aubrey is a pioneer, wearing the outfit that her grandmother made her. You can only see the apron and not the fancy skirt underneath. Too cute!



"The Friendly Ghosts"


Halloween is a big deal on our street. We get lots of kids, and the decorations are everywhere. Some homes were pretty scary, but we're all about a "Happy" Halloween. I didn't think much of the decorations until I started seeing people take pictures of our ghosts. Why would you do that??? Are there people who actually scrapbook pictures of other people's decorations??? It just made me laugh.

You're kids are so big! I love your decorations! The ghosts are SOOO cute. My house is going to look so good when we are done that I won't have to decorate ever again. :) But maybe I will just because I can.

In answer to your question on the potato bag. You just have to wash the potato and wrap it in a paper towel. I will get your address and sent you one.

Aubrey looks like an American girl doll. Adorable. The boys are very original.

Maybe they were taking pictures of your friendly ghosts for their blog. Hee hee.
