Halloween 2010

This year was a bust for costumes. The kids had big plans, but I just didn't have time to gather supplies and help make them. About an hour before go time, Adam tried to put this together. It was pretty good for a last minute costume, but it fell apart 20 minutes later. Elli ended up being a midget marine and Amy was a cheerleader like last year. They all got plenty of candy and had a good time anyways.

Here Comes the Fifth Grade

Each year the elementary has a Halloween parade. All the parents line the sidewalk and take pictures as the classes walk by. Last year I went to the kindergarten center's parade and missed Adam and Elli. For this one year they are all at one school! It was kind of fun to shout out, "Adam, look over here!" or "Elli, give me a smile!" I felt like the paparazzi and got a few good shots.They all used their costumes from last year. It was another last minute scramble. Good thing I didn't throw anything away. Adam is a ghost buster again, minus the knee pads and brown pants.

Next Came the Third Grade

Elli was a witch again. She left her hat inside because it was too hard to keep on her head. Any little breeze would grab it and send it sailing.The hair is pretty scary though!

Finally the First Grade

Amy was Little Red again. She was supposed to bring out her basket. I thought I made it clear that that was what made her look like Red Riding Hood. She was pretty cute anyways.
She looked a little too comfortable in front of the crowds and cameras.
