Okay, this post is really to post the kids Halloween pics, so the title is totally inappropriate. I just wanted to say it because I feel so happily patriotic today. A way I haven't felt since that stinker Clinton lied under oath! I also admit to having an ulterior motive for feeling happy today. I've been looking forward to the 2008 election for a long time because regardless of who won I was hoping that my husband could finally get over his ridiculously misguided and obsessive angst toward our poor President Bush. I don't know, though, Grant might actually need some therapy!
Anyhoo, here are the pics:
Eliseo had a scary mask, but it turns out masks are not allowed at school or at Trunk or Treat so he came up with this last minute.

My mom made this cute duck costume when Rune was two. I love recycling Halloween costumes!

Rune is a dark side Jedi. I made this costume. I almost didn't, but he wanted it so much I finally did. Luckily it was one of those 2 hr patterns. He does have some sweet Jedi moves.

This costume shows just how pathetic I was this year. A sheet with eyes cut out? How embarrassing! And I totally had Lily convinced it was ultra cool.

No, I didn't dress Violet up. But she does a pretty good monkey impression on her own. Check out the hair on her arms and back!
