halloween 2015

we only barely managed to get costumes together this year. and only because some great friends helped out.

taylor pulled out last year's power ranger costume, and it still fit.
elizabeth had a friend lend her a dress, and another friend lent her a hat, and she ended up as one of the cutest witches i've ever seen!
shannon pulled out elizabeth's costume from last year, and went as a princess.
ashley had a friend lend her a dress (that was temporarily altered. an adult small does not fit a 5 year old.), and shaun turned his fedora into a witch hat.
michael started as a pumpkin, and ended as super hero mix. batman shirt, captain america shield, belt, and arm band. he also had a cape. i call him my super michael.

i refused to take the kids out to play until my house was semi clean. so we got a later start than we normally would have.

we headed up to the art lab for their halloween carnival, and the chance to see nana. we let the kids play the games for about 20 minutes, and then got some pictures. during the pictures, elizabeth threw up. thankfully, not on the floor, or anyone. she was able to make it to the bathroom where she spit it into the toilet. we promptly packed up and started home. only to have kronk give out on us. we ended up running with the hazards on, and maxed the power out at about 25 mph. when we got off the highway to come into town, he stopped and wouldn't start again. a kind lady stopped an towed us to the gas station, where shaun put some gas in, and she then followed us home to make sure we got there.

looks like we are "grounded," and i won't be able to make my grocery run monday morning...
