Halloween
The first few pictures are from Isabella's school party. She dressed as a vampire. They played a game during the party where you wrap your partner in toilet paper to create a mummy. She and her partner did a great job.
Finally it was time for trick or treating. Grace picked out this costume despite wanting other fairy or princess ones. All the others were not suitable for Michigan weather. When she saw this one she knew we couldn't refuse because it was a long skirt and long sleeves. Plus, when she tried it on in the store she was so pleased and just seemed to float in it. By the time she went trick or treating though she decided instead of it being a princess costume it was a "good witch". She also decided to accessorize it herself (crown, wings, wand and ribbon) so it had more color and wasn't so boring.
Isabella's costume was good for Michigan weather as well. We painted her face and she wore fangs - very scary!
Jack-O-Lanterns
A first for us this year was visiting Van Hoosen farms pumpkin festival. In the evening they line up all the pumpkins carved during the day and light them. It is over 1,000 jack-o-lanterns. We had a great time seeing all of them both in the day and then once they were lit.
School Pictures
It is that time of the school year again - time for school pictures. Grace doesn't quite have a natural smile down so we practiced and you can see the result. Isabella looks too old! Both pics are great.
