Halloween 2011

This is my 400th post!!  My very first post on this blog was 9/16/2007.  While I somehow managed to get 6 months behind, I can not give it up.  There are times I think about it, when it just seems like one more thing I can't keep up with and can't do well.  But I look back at the books I have made so far from previous years of blogging and I have to keep going.  I don't scrapbook and I don't keep up on the kids' baby books.  This blog is all my kids will really have to remember growing up.  So I must keep going!  I'm halfway to being caught up.  :)  And that is one of my goals for this year, to stay caught up.

Henry Max had his Halloween party at preschool on Thursday, October 27th.  He was very excited to wear his costume to show his friends and teachers.

The girls had their parties and costume parade on Friday, October 28th.  I did get some pictures at the parade, but there were so many people crammed into the gym at their school, it was impossible to get a decent picture.

I didn't spend any money on costumes this year.  Yea!  Maggie and Nora used their costumes from last year.  They loved them and only got to wear them once last year, so I was thrilled they wanted to use them again.  Henry Max got his stuff for his birthday in February and again, made Momma happy when he thought it was a great idea to be an explorer.  Alice wore the mouse costume that Maggie and Nora both wore for the Halloween near their first birthdays.

Those are the 3 cutest mice ever!

We all went out for a while, then Alice and I headed home so she could go to bed while Henry took the other kids around the neighborhood.  I tried to get some cute pictures of Alice, but they pretty much all looked like this.  She wouldn't stop running around.  :)

She finally stopped for a minute after we had to hand out some candy.  

Very tired.

Looking for the good stuff.
