Halloween

Trying on Costumes

Look really closely and you'll see that this is Eliza.

If you show Vidalia these pictures she'll point and say, "My bike!"

She was a good sport letting us squish her face like that.

Actual Halloween

All the kids excited to go trick-or-treating.

Vidalia and Eliza were really good sports.  They lasted longer than the older kids.

Short Story: I made our costumes last year (the ones we used again this year, bee keepers and a bee).  I didn't have a pattern for the pants and was paranoid of not making them big enough.  That being said, our pants are ginormous.  To remedy that problem, I put drawstrings (unfortunately not real ones, just a piece of cloth I cut to be the right size).  Mine broke this Halloween.  I walked around the whole night trying to keep my pants up.  One time I touched my side and I was realized my pants were not so much on.  I don't think anybody besides me noticed, but I don't like the feeling of not wearing pants in public.  I'm so glad it was dark.
