Halloween


Lucy & Elliot had a grand ol' time for Halloween (click on picture above to see all the photos). Lucy went as a pink poodle and E went as a tornado, and both were very happy with how their costumes turned out. The kids were worn out after a school party and trick or treating at two different locations. To avoid the extended sugar consumption, and because E can't eat dairy or much artificial coloring, the kids agreed to turn over their candy in exchange for a $15 shopping spree at the store of their choice. E chose a cool pirate ship playset and L got a new stuffed dog, a small doodle bear and a Hello Kitty keychain. The result is happiness , healthiness and sanity!
