halloween

given my history, i know no one expects me to post pictures on time, but the really sad part is, i only have a picture of rayna in her halloween costume :( i'm horrible. that being said, i know my mom got some pictures of the other kids on her camera, so i'll get them relatively soon after she uploads them :). malachi went with the theme and was christopher robin, afton did her own thing and was a jelly fish. her own idea i feel obligated to point out, though i did make up the costume relatively on my own... maybe that was a good thing...

we did do a good job with our halloween fingernails though --aren't we cute!

afton had a ghost on one hand, and a mummy on the other



rayna had a pumpkin and a bat, the bat actually looked pretty good up close, it was just so tiny!



and i had a monster and spooky eyes :) and i did eventually clean off the part all over my fingers, evidentally i didn't try to take a picture after that though, just the messy beginning on, oh well!

on a slightly related note, we also had crazy hair day at both girls schools last month. we didn't get too crazy, though we had fun with coloring their hair:



i think rayna's looked pretty amazing, she had probably 20 different colors of curls, and that was enough to call her's crazy!



naturally if the girls are getting something crazy and fun, malachi should have it too! he picked orange--his current favorite color



i didn't get a picture of afton's before school, she was literally running ou tot he bus that day with her shoes in hand because we weren't quite ready yet, but it was pretty cute i think, 2 hair-'bows' and some stripes. only the brightest colors showed up in her hair because it's so much darker than raynas, but it was still lots of fun!

i sure love the girls' teachers and schools, they do lots of fun things, and i think they're learning a lot too :) happy october!
