The night before Halloween, we did the big Halloween carnival at our church. Here are the kiddos as Scooby, a Jack-o-lantern, and Eric Carle's Very Hungry Caterpillar.
For the actual Halloween night, BJ and I were too exhausted to even contemplate dressing up our children again, so instead, we built a fire and made s'mores in the back yard. I was the best Halloween ever, and BJ and I have decided to make this a permanent family tradition. Here are Shepherd and Lydia having their first s'mores ever.
Violet was a little young to participate, but she stayed pretty content hanging out in Shepherd's old snow suit from Kentucky.
And here are me and BJ congratulating ourselves on avoiding further Halloween festivities while keeping our children happy.
Lastly, just because, this is what happy looks like on this fine November day.
