Lindsey and Emily had a great Halloween! They loved their class parties and going trick-or-treating as
Silvermist (Disney fairy) and Ariel. They both really hated their wigs, though. :(
Lauren, on the other hand, was miserable. She had the misfortune of catching the
H1N1 flu on Thursday. Poor little thing! She ended up missing all the parties and fun - plus cheer competition. She's feeling better today - no fever- but it doesn't make up even a little for missing out on everything else.... She was sooo excited about her costume that she put together with a couple of friends. She's also upset because her evil cheer coach and a few girls were actually mad at her for not competing. Sorry, but someone who can barely stay upright long enough to shower that morning really shouldn't try to make it through a rigorous cheer routine - or toss another girl around in the air. As a cheer coach, I wouldn't allow a girl to do that for her safety and that of her flier. Yes, I'm
really peeved about the whole thing.
Anyway.....Kent, of course, had a ball decorating the yard and entry for the night. He loves getting out all the spookier stuff! He was a great sport about taking the girls around trick-or-treating while I was at the school's Halloween party taking pictures.
Lauren got to lie on the couch and hand out candy.We did make it to
C
ornbelly's earlier this month.
Lauren didn't want to go, so we traded her in for another little girl. No, really. We left her with her BFF, Oakley, and took her little sister, Avery, who also conveniently happens to be friends with Lindsey and Emily.
Everyone had more fun this way!Today, we've already got most of the decorations down....I need another tote for the stuff I bought this year. Oops... :)
Now, bring on Thanksgiving!!!
