Halloween 2011

For Halloween this year we did our usual trip to Fall Festival at a local church. It was kind of lame because we got such a late start. We tried to do too much beforehand and we only got to be there for about an hour before it was over. The kids were bummed so I felt kind of bad. Berkeley wants to go trick or treating next year, but I don't want to take her because most neighborhoods have such creepy decorations and I don't want us to wake up 6 times a night for the next 2 months due to bad dreams. Maybe we'll just go to a few houses that we know are "safe."

Berkeley was a cow girl, Oliver was obviously Spider Man and Finley was a "wolf" spider. We had many unpleasant experiences with wolf spiders while living in Grandpa & Grandma's basement so the kids are very familiar with wolf spiders and decided that was the type of spider Finley was. As you can see, she wasn't feeling it at first, but as the night wore on she ended up enjoying herself and forgot all about the costume.
