Neglected

Oh my! My blog is SO neglected. I just can't seem to hardly find time to post or respond to others blogs. I will do better. Caroline and Abby have finished with the ball season so that will free up a little time. Although, I'm sure that time will be filled with something. We've had quite a busy week with all the fall activities. I also had parent conferences and report cards are going out this week so I guess I really won't have much down time. I better put Mattie to sleep since she keeps laying flat on the floor....I guess she is neglected too. No...Just kidding! So here is a quick snapshot of the kids in their costumes.

Mattie was a green M&M at her school party. She actually knew to put the goodies in her pumpkin, but kept taking them out to dig in!

At home, she was a cow. This is the same cow that my oldest and middle child wore. It was made by my mother. I was thinking she could wear it next year but at the last minute I decided to put it on her. I was afraid she may be too big next year.

These are the really cute lanterns we made from recycled soda bottles and milk jugs along with one of our pumpkins.

Caroline was a *Gothic* vampire two nights in a row. She had a party Friday night and went trick or treating on Saturday. Not my favorite choice but hey...whatever makes her happy. I have to say she looks quite gruesome.

*As I'm typing this she says....It's not a vampire mama. It a "Gothic" vampire.
