This Halloween was one of blur and hurry up and get things. I got home from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon and still had to make Hannah's costume, carve pumpkins, and get the stuff for class parties the following day. Hannah wanted to be a fairy, Peter wanted to be a bat, Joseph a pumpkin as well as Eden and I. Alan's last minute costume was being dressed like he was just stepping into the shower!
We put Hannah's hair in rags so that in the morning it would be really curly, and after all of the kids were in bed I started on her costume. Unfortunately it didn't get finished, maybe she can be a fairy next year. My sewing machine was giving me fits and at 11:00 p.m. I decided to throw in the towel and admit defeat. She was very sweet about it in the morning. "It's o.k. Mom I can just be a cheerleader again." I of course felt badly, but to see that my children can be understanding and forgiving makes everything o.k.
Peter LOVED his first parade and school party! He seemed like he was on cloud 9 all day! He could not have been happier with his costume.
Joseph asked all day when it was time to go trick-or-treating to get CANDY!!
We decided to show off Eden to all of the neighbors, plus we had a costume to match Joseph and me, (just in case she was here for Halloween!) She was wide eyed the whole time and the neighbors were so excited to meet the newest member of the family!
We also had a special visitor come! Thanks mom!

What a cute family!! I am SO impressed that you were up making costumes right after getting home from the hospital. Super Duper Mom!!
WOW, I can't believe you just jumped right back into it all after getting home from the hospital! Good for you! I love the slide show! Everyone looked adorable!
I can't believe you did all that just after coming home from the hospital! I am torn between saying your are amazing or just crazy. Just crazy amazing I guess.
