Quick Halloween Recap

Because it's already the next holiday & I haven't even blogged about the previous one (how does that keep happening to me?) I just wanted to post a few pics of the kids this Halloween. It isn't my favorite holiday...I could do without the ghouls & gore, we don't need a drop of candy, & it always ends up being so hectic to get costumed up & out the door, but I sure do like to see my kids all dressed up. They think it is SO much fun & they sure look pretty cute...here's a quick look!

Getting ready! After school was a hectic time of everyone getting their costumes ready & getting dressed. Since Halloween fell on a Wednesday night this year, we had our usual Bible clubs at church. The kids were supposed to dress as something/someone from the Bible.

Sophie chose to be an angel; Darcy dressed up as Mary carrying a tiny baby Jesus in swaddling cloths; Drew was a king (just like last year & using the same royal robe we made for Jack when he was 3! I love a costume that lasts!!), but this year we called him King David; Lucy was a little flower (even the flowers of the fields...); and if you are wondering what in the world Jack was...he was dressed up as baby Moses, in a basket (floating down the River Nile...) It was hard to get a good picture, but Jack's head was baby Moses's head & we had a baby doll body (also in swaddling cloths) attached right below his head. I've got to give it to the boy, he always chooses creativity in his costumes!

And they're off! It was a race to get to as many houses as they possibly could in less than 30 minutes! (They did really well & still have full candy buckets!) Then it was on to church, where they also handed out loads more candy during their Bible clubs.

Sophie & Darcy were such good helpers with little Lucy!

And that wraps up a speedy Halloween post...short & sweet, just like precious little flower!
