Boo-night + link-up

Happy All Souls Day!

I was not able to get fancy photos of the children in their costumes using my big camera -- except for Lucy's costume.

Thanks to my mom -- we have a rare gem. all 6 of us....

I present you from Left to Right -

Spiderman --- Baseball player who used performance enhancing drugs (PC way of saying: baseball dude in roids) --- Doc McStuffins --- St. Lucy --- Princess Ella --- Ninja

Here's what I used to make Lucy's St. Lucy costume.

white onesie
white leggings
pink sash using pink ribbon
2 bouncy eye-balls from target -- these are the exact ones -- wow what an inflation after Halloween... I got them for $1 each. How about some glow in the dark ones instead?
gold tissue paper to wrap a paper plate for the gold platter

Here's our crew trick or treating. I did not change Lucy anymore -- she was sleeping in the carriage anyway. {don't wake up a sleeping baby, right??!}

Pardon my creepy witchy laugh. I was not even dressed up as a witch. I was an 80s dancer in tutu and all pink outfit (complete with leg warmers!)

The iMovie app also cut the portrait videos -- hence Darth Vader's head is cut off :(

I would like to see your creativity and your family's costumes. please link them here. I will keep the link-up open till end of the month.

worst halloween evah

Why oh why was it cold again and raining this year for Halloween?

I was as devastated as the children when they did not haul loads and loads of chocolate. not that I was going to eat them all. i knew that the children have been so excited for this nigt.

The story behind the ninja costume:

this costume has given me hypertension. First when Derrick got it at costco for $25. Then another spike in my BP when Daniel refused to wear it for his brother's birthday. Then a repeat on Halloween when he refused to wear it again.

Daniel did wear the ninja costume and he pouted when I asked to take his pictures.

This was the only one I got of him.

So we had to have plan B. It was a rainy 35F night. I called three chick-fil-A's in the city. Finally found one that was having a fall family festival from 4p-7p. I came home at 5p from work and had the children ready. We waited for Derrick who arrived close to 6p (arrrggghhh). we finally arrived at Chick-fil-A after trying to pump air on my tire (almost flat tire that I have been driving x 3 days). Derrick saw its state and said: we have to do it tonight.... so we inflated the tire... actually, he tried to inflate tire. The stupid air machine thingy took 50c from him and the tire was still flat.

15 minutes later at the gas station with the stupid air machine, we arrived at Chick-fil-A. The dining room was empty except for a mom with her two preschoolers and a man eating a chicken sandwich. Mr. mascot was GONE! no balloons, no treats, no nothing!

At that point, it was dark and even colder. The children ALL fell asleep. Derrick drove us home. I was still upset.

Derrick said: you snooze, you loose. when the children woke up, he rubbed it in and told them: they missed Halloween. our savior was Uncle K. He visited us second year in a row and brought candy bars for the children.

The silver lining that night: I have these pictures of Isabel with her "queen" costume.. She's not a princess, she said. She is a queen.

How appropriate since she is named after Queen Isabel of Portugal.

I don't even have a picture of Sebastian. (gasp!)

I posted one taken by my mom on my instagram feed.

Lola to the rescue.

Trick or treating with superheroes

Though a day late, my kiddos sported their costumes and knocked on our neighbors' doors for some treats that dentists would not like at all....

Daniel was dead set on being the red power ranger. I got this suit from zulily at a discounted price. Woohoo!

Isabel received her costume from my mom. She got it at a garage sale for $1! It was worn by the kid I taught piano -- 10 years ago! Ha! We finally were able to convince Isabel that it's ok not to be a princess/Dora. And that it's super cool to be super girl.
