HaLlOwEeN!

For Halloween, Madeline picked out a pink Batgirl costume. She looked so cute!! On the other hand, Gus had a harder time picking out a costume. The past 3 years, he has been a character from the Super Mario video games. First he was Luigi, then Toad, and finally Mario. This year, he wanted to be Yoshi, but that costume was $45 and I didn't take the time to try and make one. I know, bad mom! :( Anyway, the weekend before Halloween, he found a pirate hat and patch play set at the dollar store and said that he wanted to be a pirate. (I didn't even care that he was already a pirate when he was 3! We had a costume idea!) So, the rest of the costume was made by me on the fly the night before Halloween...I think we did good!

 Madeline and Gus wanted to take pics of his pirate character "hooking" her and her Batgirl character karate chopping him. SO FUNNY! When it was time for the serious picture, they were each caught looking at the other...so sweet!

On Halloween night, we went to church for their annual trick or treating. However, this year, they opted for an"trunk or treat" with a performance before you could get candy. I loved it! The story was set to music and there was very little narration. It told the story of the good knight, the good prince and the bad knight and was very moving. I pray that it touched at least one person's heart to know Jesus!

It was a great Halloween!!
