Belated Halloween photo


Those who know me, know I tend to be...ummmm... a bit on the "late" side. Although I constantly work on not being tardy, and have had some success, posting in this blog has been a little behind. So in an effort to catch up, here is a photo of the kids right before they began their "quest for candy."

Grace and Gunnar were self-proclaimed "warriors" (althought the costume patterns they picked were "knights"). They each picked out the fabric and I clumsily sewed their costumes. They turned out okay in the end I think.

Paige originally wanted to be a leopard, but later decided to be a fairy. Lucky for me, that's what Grace was last year, a woodland fairy, and the costume was already ready.

As trick-or-treating in the country is spotty at best, and A LOT of walking for very few houses, we joined our friends, the Goens, in their suburban neighborhood in North Grand Rapids/Kenowa area and the kids filled their Halloween bags almost to the top! As soon as they dumped the bags of candy onto the floor, I scooped up as many Twix bars as I could manage. Overall, it was a good and chocolatey-delicious time!
