HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


This was an unusual Halloween . . . I came down with a stomach bug in the wee hours of Friday morning, putting me out of commission for all of the Halloween festivities. Eric had already taken the day off, so he was able to attend Avery's party and parade at school and get the girls ready for trick-or-treating. It was my first (and only, I hope) year to miss the fun with them.

Avery changed her mind at the last minute from dressing as a butterfly to being a fairy. Ella was a kitty cat (aka "cutie-cat"). Thank you, Aunt Coleen, for loaning us the hand-made fairy dress, and thanks to Grandma W. for making the purple satin cat tail! This mom is hopeless when it comes to sewing.
Eric and the girls enjoyed two hours of trick-or-treating with our good friends and neighbors. Then they visited Grandpa & Grandma's house and Mr. Matt & Miss Meg's house. Thanks for all of the candy! It has been an extra-sweets kind of day :) Maybe my stomach will be ready for chocolate by tomorrow . . .
