Off with their heads!

We kept the book theme going again this year. Daniel and Laney have been so into Alice in wonderland this past year, seeing many movie and cartoon versions, as well as reading different book versions. 

The kids had so much fun with these costumes. Laney all weekend long was shouting "Off with their heads!!!" Then she'd cup her mouth and giggle. Daniel thought this was pretty funny too, and kept laughing as he ran away from her.

We took them trick or treating at the mall on Saturday and in our neighborhood on Halloween. Amazingly the weather was even great for tricks and treats, not too windy, cold or raining. This just doesn't happen in Michigan at the end of October. Great weather not withstanding the kids ended up being more interested in visiting friends homes, and our old house in the neighborhood than in getting candy. After they had made these stops, and only a few others, they told Jesse, "Okay, Daddy we're ready to go home." I think the most fun they had was getting their faces and hair painted, and running around the yard in their costumes goofing around. Laney insisted that Jesse and I dress up, so we made costumes. We were cards from the Red Queens army. Laney loved this. She said, "This is great! Now I'm in charge and I get to tell you what to do."-----Not quite little squirt. Oh, how this child loves being in charge!

I Loved how the kids looked in their costumes! It was another super fun Halloween. Hope yours was too! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
