Happy Halloween

With the storm making its way up the east coast, and planning on hitting us hard right around the 31st I was unsure if we would be able to have trick or treating plans for Halloween this year.  So I made sure to be able to take the kids out on Saturday for Trick or Treating on the Square (downtown Harrisonburg).  It was a lot of fun and the kids seemed to have a great time getting candy and being dressed up.
 Our house was a zoo or maybe a safari with a giraffe and a cheetah.  However, they were the cutest little wild animals that I have ever seen!
 Below is a lesson in camouflage.  Can you see Grace?
 Grace loved her costume so much that on Sunday she decided she needed to wear it while helping Matt install new faucets in the bathrooms.
While trick or treating on Saturday we passed by a parking lot where there were three young ladies dressed in what could be prom dresses.  Grace just stood there and stared, pointed at them and said "princess!"  So Amy and Grace went to talk to the princesses.  It turns out that they were doing a photo shoot of some kind.  And while Grace was in awe of the beautiful princesses, they were commenting on how adorable the little girl in the giraffe costume was.

It has been a good Halloween so far.  I do hope that we can get out and dress up once again for Wednesday.  We shall see if Sandy lets us.

Adorable!!! Glen really was proud of himself when standing!! FYI-faucets work better when giraffes help put them in. :)
