Halloween cuties

We're not a big Halloween family around here - my first thought of what costumes the kids would wear was maybe October 30?? Fortunately we have a few costumes around (this is the third year Gavin's been Superman, but he gets so excited every time...and it finally fits him!) and everyone had something to wear. Rachel's a monkey, but didn't want to keep her hood on for the picture. :) She was as excited as Gavin was - she dragged the costume around for most of the day making little monkey noises and trying to say monkey, something like "mah-KA!"

Abby was a little bit unsure about the whole Halloween thing - she loves to dress up, but everyone doing it at the same time and running around outside seemed a little weird to her. She changed her mind several times during the day about whether she'd rather be the bunny or the caterpillar, and right before we went out she was set on not wearing anything, but we convinced her. :)

We just went to a few houses around our neighborhood this year - we usually go drive out to the country and visit a couple of friends, but Greg was at a youth conference this year and I wasn't feeling adventurous enough to go by myself.
