Halloween part 1

I am not sure how many Halloween events we will be attending this year since Miss M still a) doesn't really like people b) shouldn't be eating too much candy c) doesn't think costumes are as humorous as I find them to be d) doesn't like to be outside in the cold.

I am fortunate that the new mom group I joined in May of 2011 still meets every Tuesday.  We meet at different locations each week and try to provide an opportunity for the children to burn energy and for us to catch up. 

We met Tuesday for our 2012 Halloween party. It was a lot of fun. I put Miss M in her bear suit (which she did not appreciate) right before we attempted pictures b/c there was no sense in risking my luck with making her mad early.  I bribed her with candy corn and all was successful enough!

The bear outfit was given to us by a neighbor downstairs. It's a 2T and I am pretty sure it will fit for the next three years.

Miss M's face here is priceless.  Her friend is Maggie Simpson.  

We lined them up on the couch. Tagah: kangaroo. Mary: elephant. Spencer/Gabe: Indian princes. Gwen: Maggie Simpson. Henry: Not exactly sure - Insurance salesman perhaps. Miss M: bear.

Then we realized we forgot one.  Catherine is the newest of the children. She was born in June.  She kind of gets lost in the shuffle a lot. The Halloween party was no exception. 

She's the one in the clown outfit hidden underneath the kangaroo and the elephant.

Next year there will be more kiddos.  We will have to find a bigger couch to put them on!
