halloween

okay, okay, i'm getting on the ball, i've been slow about posting lately (as you'll see), but i figure it's my perogative... or something... anyways, here's the kids in all their halloween glory, getting ready to go trick-or-treating at grandmas house (her neighborhood's WAY better than ours for that). the girls were "scary" witches (though rayna's was a scary ballerina witch...) and malachi was by default (meaning it was a costume he couldn't take off by himself)



this pic was well before halloween, we built our scarecrow again (a little different from last year, but mostly the same). we like him :)



for some reason i absolutely LOVE this picture of rayna :) she refused to wear the witch hat except for pictures, though she was super-excited to wear straight hair at first... oh well, i like her curls anyways!



malachi really only wore the hat for about 2 minutes... and he LOVED trick-or-treating! that's one thing he's super-good at!

  these pictures were a few weeks ago. one night we had some halloween-theme decorated marshmellows for dessert. they were also a hit:

and they're pretty, right?

and thanks to maggie for the awesome halloween plates! they love them :). i'm thinking they'll be a year-round addition to our table! thanks so much for sending us that package!
