Nacho Libre

Nacho Libre has become a new member of our family. Reuben reminded him of his outfit a week ago and it has been like pulling teeth to take it off, even for bedtime. I have put it in the laundry just to have it pulled out and and Nacho insisting on wearing it. Yes, he does respond to "Nacho" and actually refers to himself that way. Luckily I babysit full time from home so we don't have to worry about changing to leave the house. He had fun posing for these photos :)

Halloween 2010

We were able to go trick-or-treating with a couple of friends this year. It was a beautiful but chilly night but we all had a lot of fun!

James was amazing and wore his stilts trick-or-treating. Our sidewalks around here are not the most even, so we were all pretty impressed! He was the B.F.G.

Here is the run down of costumes:

Lincoln was Nacho Libre (his all time favorite movie) in the picture he's wearing a sweatshirt because he was freezing. We will take some solo pictures of him soon.

Eve was Ariel/ a mermaid

Reuben was a mad scientist at Jayne's party, a secret agent in the school parade, a baseball player at the church halloween party and a cowboy on halloween. (As you can't tell he couldn't make up his mind)

Kaitlyn was a s'more. (A little bit of bragging here, but she won for the best costume worn by a girl, at her school halloween party.)

School Halloween Parade

On Friday the Elementary put on a parade around the streets surrounding the school. I love this yearly tradition to see all of the cute kids so excited and dressed up in their costumes.

When Eve woke up that morning she could hardly contain her excitement for the parade. She was convinced that she was going to be able to ride in a truck and wave to everyone and throw candy. (She has watched Kaitlyn and Reuben in our town's Memorial Day Parade for a couple of years and thought that this parade was the Memorial Day one.) It was pretty cute.

Eve wanted to be Ariel this year. I totally lucked out and found this costume at our local grocery store for $3.99! (I love a good deal!!) Reuben had a hard time making up his mind this year. He ended up being four different things, one costume for each party/event we went to. Luckily he used stuff we had at home because this had potential of getting pretty expensive. So, at school he dressed up as a spy (suit coat and Ryan's fedora). Reuben did such a good job blending in that I didn't get a good picture of him during the parade. This is the best I was able to get.

Trick-Or-Treat

On Friday The kids had a Halloween parade at school followed by parties in their classrooms. Here are some pictures of the kids in the parade with their friends.

This year Kaitlyn wanted to be a banana and Reuben wanted to be an eyeball. So I kinda guessed as I sewed and came up with these. All of the costumes are made of felt which made the project easier not having to worry about turning under edges. Evie and Lincoln got to wear hand-me-down costumes from Kates and Reuben. They look pretty cute as my little monsters, I think. They both loved wearing the costumes and liked to growl in them.
