Costumes

We don't really "celebrate" Halloween. I mean, we aren't against the kids dressing up, but other than that, we just aren't into it. And really, my kids like to dress up any day of the year.
So this year, I didn't buy any costumes. I had picked up a cute costume for Trevor at a yard sale for $1 during the summer, but hadn't gotten anything for Emma. Once Dan and I talked about things, we decided not to buy one for Emma, and to just stay home and hand out candy instead of going out ourselves. This seemed like a good way to save money and also teach the kids about giving.
Well, my kids are amazingly cheerful givers. Every time the doorbell rang, they ran squealing and laughing to the door, where I let them take turns putting candy in the kids' buckets. They had SO much fun!
Well, I went ahead and got the monkey costume out, and pulled out Emma's old costume, too, and it barely fit her. Here are some pics.
