Yesterday was Halloween as I'm sure you know. I loved that it was on a Saturday. Gunga and Grandma were with us...

We managed to scrape together some costumes...

Lulu was berry cute as a strawberry...

Jack was the Karate Kid...

Emmie was Candy Corn...

She was frustrated that people didn't know what she was, so she made this sign...

I had to veto that. I told her I'd explain why later. Like 10 years later.
Tate was a Ghostbuster...

And I was Sydney Bristow from Alias. Lulu wasn't too sure about the bright red wig...

Later my nephew had some fun with the wig. It looks like a bad comb-over...

Is there such a thing as a "good comb-over"?
My friends got into the celebration too. Robrenna gave me an idea for doing Lulu's hair in the future...

I'm trying to do my sexy look in the picture. I know, it doesn't work. Never has, never will.
And Rachel scored points with the most creative costume...

She was a cougar.
The kids enjoyed their loot...


In the above picture, Tate used Luci's play garden as a fortress to protect his candy.
Our neighbors even had a treat for Lulu...

Sadly there was not even one Mr. Goodbar in the bunch and only one extra Almond Joy. Depressing. But the good news is the candy is half off now!
The night ended with jumping on the tramp with cousins. We never can seem to succeed at our High School Musical jump pictures...

That's one holiday behind us, but a there is a better holiday we are celebrating today. Luci May Rediet has been home three months. Happy Homecoming, Lulu! What did we ever do without you?

Home 3 months.....wow time flies!!!!
You look great as a red head! If you ever need a change, that would be a good one for you! I loved Emmie's costume too. Very clever!
what great pics...I love the sign your girly made AND your reply even better...too funny...kj
Oh my word, this had me laughing out loud.
I love the Karate Kid!!
I think the story about the sign is so flipping hilarious "like 10 years later." So funny!!
Ghostbuster-awesome. Bringing back some funny memories with these costumes.
I managed to keep almost all of the candy I bought to give out, since we were out we didn't pass it out! And I got the stuff that I would want to eat, so that's what we're left with. Ha, ha.
Such a sweet thing to celebrate...your baby girl's homecoming! I love your final comment (question)!
I heart Sidney Bristow. I want your wig. And a Cougar?? Hilarious.
Oh. Your kids were super cute too. :) The candy corn is my favorite.
I heart Sydney Bristow- great costumes.
I think Tate looks a bit like Taylor Lautner (aka Jacob in the Twilight movies) in the photo with the teeth.
Hi-we had talked through e-mail before about you taking your son to Addis and us wanting to and how to do that when they are telling us no-and I was just wondering now that you are home and settled, would you care if I call you so that I can run it by you and find out what avenue to take with AGCI and us taking our son? It is just making me crazy and I want to stop worrying! thanks-amber stutzman
