Okay, so I know I'm late getting this post up, but with all the computer issues we have had (are having) I'm doing well to post at all. It seems to take forever to get one up! Anyway, costume construction started early this year, and I wasn't too terribly stressed until various/several YW events interrupted the time when I was supposed to have started Madelyn's dress. Started it late, but got it finished quickly and with only a few minor snags that resolved rather quickly.
We had friends over to do a little trick-or-treating with us, (we had to wake Josh up when it was time to go...yes, he's in the hallway), and as has become the tradition, our across-the-street-neighbors waited patiently for our kids, promptly loaded their buckets to overflowing, and slipped inside and turned off their lights. They love our kids! 
The kids were so proud of their facepaints that I couldn't get away without posting them...yes, I did them freehand. 
Pictures on Halloween night didn't turn out very well, so I made the kids put costumes back on on Saturday so I could get some pictures in the daylight. Enjoy!
