Little Life: Halloween 2008

Although Halloween was a bit soggy this year, the rain did not dampen our spirits. I love the fact that the Jack and Macy really are not into trick or treating and really just like dressing up. We use Halloween as an excuse to visit friends and family. Traditionally, we visit Faye, one of the secretaries at Bob's old job. I LOVE her because she reminds me of my mom. This year she was wearing her Halloween vest and earrings as well as the matching socks! Now if that is not reminiscent of Judy Pearson, I don't know what is!!! After a nice visit with Faye, we trick or treated our neighbors the Houseworths. Their youngest child just joined the Army so I think as empty nesters they enjoy seeing the Little kids. Next we stopped by the Coggins house. Sue and Carl are long time friends of my family and it seems that life just gets going too fast and we seldom touch base. Halloween is a perfect excuse for a visit. To end our night, we drove to Papa and Grandma's for cupcakes. Yep, that's it - only four houses, but my kids seem content with it (thank the lord)... Enjoy the hodgepodge of Halloween pics!!!

On Halloween, our daycare provider allows the children to wear their costumes. With six children under the age of three in her care, this decision to dress up makes her certifiably insane. You may notice Macy wearing her costume from last year. She woke up and was adamant to wear her 2 sizes too small Care Bear suit... whatever it wasn't the battle to fight that morning. Here she is with her buddy Wrenna the monkey.

Nichelle dropping off her girls at the bus stop (her mission: to embarrass her third and first grade daughters... I think she's awesome). Seeing her in her Butterball gown has become a tradition for me. Oh yeah, that's her husband in the background. I prefer to call him the Turkey Pimp.
