Then we got into costumes and waited for Dad. He got to come home early so he could go trick-or-treating with us. We had an Indian, a kangaroo and a bumblebee. Couldn't have been cuter. The kids brought home more candy than they've ever had in their lives. They even got a stuffed animal from one house (Nina's favorite) and a can of soda from another house (Satchel's favorite--it was Diet Vernor's, and he thought it was delicious).
They looked great!! I'm glad the bumblebee worked out. And you rocked the pre-treats meal. Fun!
ReplyDeleteMy kids hardly had a costume on...I was a lame holiday mom this year (but with reason). I'll do better next year!
I don't know why I'm looking at this again, but I had to comment about Nina's costume. I just had a "discussion" with a friend who felt Ame's costume this year was offensive because she was mocking a racial minority (a gypsy, which is apparently a racial slur, so we'll go with "fortune teller"). She didn't like my argument that Ame is a racial minority, just of another sort. :) I should post this picture of Nina just to get her riled up.
