Just give me candy, OK?

Not our best year for good manners. But...we have been pretty sick this week and it was quite a feat to get everyone out of fevers by Saturday night so we could run around in the cold and tempt fate with reckless abandon.

Ella = butterfly for Friday night ward party
Ella = Sleeping Beauty for Halloween night
Avery = monkey (mostly just pants) for Halloween

We didn't stress about what the kids would be this year because we just figured there is no need to buy costumes when you have an overflowing dress-up bin. Honestly, every day is Halloween when you're 4 years old. So Ella changed her mind every day about what she would dress up as and since I hadn't put my blood, sweat, and tears into making a masterpiece, I was happy to accomodate her whims. I just hope next year we aren't sick!

What are doing blogging Sunday morning at 8 a.m.? Oh, that's right no more early Sundays for you! ;)
Ella looks so gorgeous in that first picture. I bet she loved the glittery makeup and mascara. Your pumpkins were fun! Happy Halloween!
Glad you're feeling better.

Wow. Ella is just a gorgeous little girl! I love those butterfly wings too. Bummer about being sick, but it looks like you pulled it together for the festivities.

I changed my costume a bunch too.:)
Glad everyone is feeling better.

Love the pictures. It was fun to see Ella at the party. We missed you and Avery.

I am going later this week, just not Saturday! And I would love to go with you, if you are up to it. This has hit you hard.

There are very few blogs that I like reading as much as yours. I love your writing, I wish I had that talent! Your kids are so cute and amazing job on the marathon! I think I could probably run a 5k in that time. haha.
