Happy Halloween!

Lily's school celebrated Reformation Day today, so all the kids came dressed in 16th Century costumes.  I am so not a creative person, and I've had a million things to do, so Lily's costume was a little bit of a stretch; she went as a peasant because the grey dress seemed to work.  When I explained what a peasant was, she exclaimed "Yea I don't have much money!"  As she got ready this morning, she grabbed her treasure box, put two coins in it and asked if she could take it to school to show that she doesn't have much money.  This picture was taken as her class performed in chapel this morning.  They recited Psalm 23 and sang The Continent Song together.  It's always fun to see little events like this.
 The girls couldn't wait for Halloween trick or treating!  Even though Mia went as Captain America to her school party yesterday, she was Captain Hook tonight.
 Lily was excited to dress up as mermaid Ariel.
 Lily begged to go trick or treating at houses this year since that is something we haven't done before for various reasons.  So, we went over to Doug and Julia's house to trick or treat around their neighborhood with them which was fun.  Vivian dressed up as Pocahontas, Claudia was Rapunzel (who enjoyed wearing peacock wings) while little Evelyn was a peacock.  Our friend Debbie also joined us, so we had a good time together.  The girls collected tons of candy!
