For years now, since Elizabeth was about 3, the one time of year that I really enjoy sewing is at Halloween. Over the years, it's become a little more challenging but it's always fun and rewarding. Bryan had a whole list of superheros that he wanted to be, but when he accompanied me to the fabric store, he found the costume that he wanted and thus became...
PRINCE CHARMING!!!
Isn't he as handsome as you've ever pictured him? :-)
We had to have a few discussions about the sword, but let's be honest, that is really what sold him on the costume.
Our BUSY weekend began with Bryan's Harvest Party that I was in charge of on Thursday. It went great and the kids seemed to have a great time.
Bryan with his wonderful teachers.
He's made several friends already this year and really enjoys Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings.
Friday took Eric and I on a trip to Stratford, Ontario with a group of 44 high school students, so Grandma Kregel filled in for me and along with caring for Bryan for the day, showed up at the girls school to help with costumes and attend the parade. While it was hard to miss a party day, I was so thankful that they were in good hands. Ashlynn was our Annie and a perfect one she was.
Elizabeth was Ginny Weasley from the Harry Potter series; one that she's on her fourth time through.
Saturday morning was pumpkin carving time and as always we had some interesting requests.
Ashlynn's required a bit more help.
and Bryan was content to just watch his take form.
At noon, we joined Eric's Grandma for lunch for our traditional passing out of candy at Sunset Manor and Village. The kids did great and helped bring a lot of smiles to many people's day.
This time is a highlight for all of us.
Great Grandma and her great grandkids.
We always try to make a point of stopping to see this wonderful prayer warrior when we visit Sunset Manor and Village. From there we headed to visit my Aunt Marion and then over to Great Grandpa and Grandma Kregel's to surprise them.
A stop at Great-Grandpa's for a quick visit with him and Brenda's cousin and some trick-or-treating in the halls.
Last, but certainly not least was trick or treating with some very good friends; a definate highlight of the day. Bryan took his role as Prince Charming quite seriously and spent the evening trying to woo Rapunzel who as a fourth grader was not easily won over.
Watch out for the giant spider! Hope your Halloween was memorable with lots of laughter
