October (picture catch-up 9)

Wednesday, January 11, 2012

Aren’t you proud of me for keeping up with this picture catch-up thing? I am.

Along with the pictures of Jacey’s birthday, pictures from September are nowhere to be found. (Not true. I’ve only looked on my own computer. They could very well be on Kellen’s computer or the external hard drive. I’m just too lazy to check there.) So here are pictures from October, which translates to: Halloween pictures.

As long as I have control over my kids’ Halloween costumes, they’ll go together. So this year, I let Jacey pick a costume from a book of patterns, and she chose Little Bo Peep. Rylan was going to be a lamb, either with blue insides of his ears, or as a black sheep–but Daddy vetoed that idea. Apparently sheep, even black ones, aren’t manly enough. So instead, we used the same costume and laboriously convinced Jacey that it could be for Little Miss Muffett instead, and Rylan was a spider. SO CUTE!!

Jacey got to dress up for her preschool Halloween party (she used a spider candy bucket), and she and Rylan both dressed up for Zoo Boo and trick-or-treating (I made her a candy bucket that looked like a bowl of curds and whey). We did Zoo Boo with a family from church–Ben is a year younger than Jacey–and we trick-or-treated with a bunch of families from church. I think there were 30 kids there. Jacey was a little slow following the big kids around, so that she sometimes had to skip houses and have her daddy pick her up and run her after the other kids, but she still had a great time.
