Halloween Pictures: 2008
Hedy has laughingly said she was thinking about her Halloween costume last month... we've also been giving our costumes some thought!
I know......
Crazy, right???
Anyway, Billy has been insisting that he wants to be a pirate.
That's great news for me, because he was a pirate last year and I still have the costume!!
See all the boxes piled up behind him?
That's because we were moving back into our house on October 31st!! Yup, on
Halloween.
The contractor was working furiously to finish... we had to be out of the house we rented by the end of the month b/c new renters were coming in Nov. 1st!!
As is usual with those guys, they were working way past the estimated completion date. (He originally told me that we would be moved back in by the time the kids started school in September! HA!)
So, here we were, making trip after trip between houses and unloading box after box, all while trying to get the kids set up for trick-or-treating!
Fortunately, Tricia went off with two friends and their moms (I had to miss it
) She dressed as a
Purple Witch. Her friends were also witches,
Green and
Orange.
Here she is trying to look very scary....
I like this better!
(Sorry about the red-eye...I tried to fix it, but then her eyeshadow comes out black, too, and it looks awful!!)
Here they are visiting Aunt Rae for trick-or-treat before Tricia headed out with her friends:
Billy wore his costume to school and I was so pleased that he actually would wear the hat!!
Normally, he is so difficult to plan a costume for..... he does not like hats, masks, or accessories of any kind. They had face-painting at school, so he came home with great pirate make-up on....
...that lasted all of about 10 minutes! It's smeared here in the pictures b/c he didn't like it and was trying to wipe it off!!
It's a real Halloween challenge!
Tricia and her cousin, Catie want to co-ordinate their costumes. They are still discussing them, but one thing's for sure.... They will
not be going as princesses.... too "baby-ish!"
I told Tricia that I didn't think a princess costume was baby-ish, that perhaps
I would go as a princess!!
Billy cut in and said in a loud voice,
No!! Mommy is a QUEEN!!!
Even my own son thinks I am getting old!!

On the MNSSHP on November 1st! We went the last two years and loved it! The Boo To You parade is not to be missed
. Might be less crowded than Halloween night anyway.
.
I don't know how they persuaded them to have his face painted at school; he was wiping it off as soon as he got home!!
