Silly Fun Halloween Love

I've been reminiscing and feel just horrible that I didn't take more Halloween photos of you kiddos back in the day. I think I was always too stressed to come up with costumes that cost zero and I didn't think about cameras. Really. While talking to Andy this week we shared the Halloween he was an awesome Rubik's cube...and no picture to share; he was so sharp. Also that same year Jesse was a great skeleton wearing my black leotard and tights and I cut out the "bones" from white paper plates and attached them. I think Jesse came in 2nd place in the entire Schubel School costume contest. The winner was really good, Egyptian something but our costumes that year were fantastic for the non budget. Really good. Maybe I should mention that Jesse was very young and didn't know it was creepy to wear his mom's ballet gear!! Oh the young and pure stage.

Well, I'm off to buy the candy, had to wait or I'd eat it all. Really. And then I'll try on the 3 costumes that Kirby has and decide which one he'll wear this year. Oh, I'm not one of those crazy dog owners. I do it for the kids in the neighborhood. Really. Okay, I love it. Kirby always has this doleful look while in costume but he is just the best sport and does it for the cause.

I'm on the verge of tears here just thinking of your darlings, missing you and wishing we all were closer and I could share all the holidays with you and the grands. Really.
