Trick or Treat!
Halloween was a little different this year. The kids were off from school because of teacher's workday, and they were all off doing their own thing. Kevin and Jessica were at band practice- 9-3, then Jessica went to piano lessons then a party, and Kevin hung out at the Smith's house. Rachel went to a party from 12-5, Jennifer worked 5-10pm, Melissa went to a party and trick or treated , and Brian had a Halloween lunch at work, and attended a farewell party for dinner, then took Rachel trick or treating. I made pumpkin cheese bread (yum)- it actually took all day. I started at 10am, but didn't get it in the oven until after 5 because of all the driving kids around, picking up, and helping with costumes etc. The house did smell yummy though. When things settled down and the house was empty, I cooked myself a pot pie in the microwave for my Halloween feast and answered the door and handed out candy. We had a fun visit with Lizzy, Robert, and Eve. Little Eve wore Jennifer's clown costume and looked so cute!

Melissa dressed up in her flapper dress that we had put together for a murder mystery party she went to as Violet. We pulled her hair back in a 20's type roll. Rachel decided the night before the school dress up that she wanted to dress like her Gaia avatar with a pumpkin Barret. So I finished sewing up this pumpkin attached to a head band for her to wear. At first I had it to the side like her pictures, but the weight of the pumpkin made it fall off- so we quickly re attached it to the top of her head. She walked very straight and erect, but looked very stylish with her pumpkin head. 
Love hearing about your family. It makes me tired!!! I started a family blog too. It's greenallgirlsplusone.blogspot.com. It's great to keep up with each other!
