Trick Or Treat - Part 1

Okay, it has been driving my crazy that I have about 4 posts that I want to get on my blog, and I have not had time to post them... so when I woke up at 1:30am I decided to come in here to the computer and knock at least one of them out.  (Somehow, the fact that it was "really 2:30" doesn't comfort my insomniatic-self.  Arrgh!)  Anyway, maybe I'll be able to sleep once I document these adorable children.  (Not that I am biased.)  The night before Halloween, we met my sister's family at a local shopping center to let the kids hunt for candy.  Considering the week that we had had and the speed at which I threw costumes on the children, I was very pleased with the cute-factor of my kiddos that night.  (Yep, I'm a bragging mom!)  And Claire!  She was so cute in her little tutu!  (Yep, I'm a bragging aunt too!)  The kids had a good time, and it was really good to have an evening to just walk around outside and watch them have fun.

The cutest fairy, miner, and pirate ever!

Jack thought of the idea of being a miner for Halloween when we were in Colorado this past summer, and he was intrigued by the mines.  I thought that it was pretty creative (and easy).

This one!  I could have eaten him up!

One of the stores that we went to is called White House, Black Market... 

Allie matched their theme of wearing black & white, and I had to take a picture.

If that's not a pirate face, I don't know what is.

... and this silly smile was the next look on his face.  You think that he likes an audience?
