Halloween 2014

This Halloween Dave and I were the lucky parents of a black cat and a caterpillar.  We had been asking Luke for weeks what he wanted to be for Halloween with no response, so we were planning a Bob the Builder costume.  However, about a week before Halloween, Luke responded to my question about what he wanted to be with "a cat".  I said "what color cat?" and he said "black".  So it was decided, much to Dave's chagrin, that Luke would be a black cat. Eli got a lovely, warm hand me down costume from our neighbor and thus was a caterpillar.

We spent the evening having chili and great conversation with our neighbors while the kids played.  They headed out for a few houses (I stayed behind with Eli) but it was freezing, windy and raining, so Luke hit about 8 houses on our street and then returned to play by the fire!  Some of the older kids made it a while longer but Luke/Dave were done for.

Here a few pictures of the evening.  Dave was a murse (and yes, those are in fact my work scrubs) and I was a housewife.

Happy Halloween!
