Halloween Before It's Too Late

Everyone likes Halloween in our house, and Celeste especially loved it.  She wasn't too disappointed when I made her be a fairy with an old ballet costume instead of making her the kangaroo costume she dreamed of (I'm done with that phase of my life.)  Since I didn't make kid costumes, I made costumes for Jeff and I for a grown-up Halloween party at my dear friend Leah's house.

Elise designed her own laundry basket costume.

At the ward Halloween party.




Vikings, of course.


We didn't get a picture of Gwyneth in her Tinker Bell costume because she went to a party and the house was in chaos at the time.  her friends dressed as the other characters from Peter Pan - to see the pictures go to her facebook, they're in there somewhere....
Camille as a bride with face paint on her cheek.

October Camping

At the llama farm

Peeping at the puffin nest

An appetizing puffin breakfast

Views of Camden, Maine

Penobscot Bay

Dinner

The highlight

Halfway up Mt. Megunticook

Adam's lookout



Now we just have to convince Mom and the older girls that fall camping is not so bad!
