Halloween

I have to say, this year for Halloween Charlotte really outdid herself coming up with a costume idea. She annd Paige were cheetah princesses!  Charlotte was a pink cheetah princess and Paige was purple.  I thought it was a terrific idea, for two reasons: 1. the creativity, 2. barely any effort for me!  We already owned every single piece of the costume, so when 5:00 rolled around, all I had to do was paint a couple of faces. Easy peasy!

Jacob was Superman.  So handsome!

Mr. Dan, our sweet next-door neighbor, patiently listening to Charlotte explain her costume.

The gang: Cana the pirate, Paige and Charlotte the cheetah princesses, and Parks the dragon. Now, pirates and dragons are some of C's favorite things, so I anticipated a bit of costume envy, but it never occurred to Char that their costumes were anywhere as cool as hers was.  She was very proud of her get-up!

Paige was perpetually lagging behind everyone else.  The poor kid was really dealing with some major allergies and did not feel good at all. She ended up being carried most of the evening.
