Sick and Rainy Halloween

In the past, I've really gotten into Halloween and planning the kids' costumes. I think the Oompa Loompas from 2008 will be hard to beat. But this year I just didn't have the energy/time/desire to coordinate everyone. We changed our mind at least four times but finally settled on some (borrowed from cousins) costumes: a knight, a princess, and a monkey.

The cute little monkey had no idea what was going on:

We did make the princess hat ... we have glitter everywhere (it's covered in pink glitter if you can't tell).

I got a cheap angel costume from work at the last minute. And David went as a Highway patrol officer -- complete with flashing lights on his dad's old cop car. Here we are at the trunk-or-treat last night:

 

And today ... I'm sick and it's raining! Grandma took the big kids trick-or-treating w/ the cousins. I'm sure they'll come home wet and soggy. Meanwhile, I'm eating some of my favorite homemade chicken noodle soup and cozying up with the laptop -- while daddy takes care of little Simon. 

And I almost forgot ... my quilt won the contest! Thanks to you for voting! I'm excited to use my gift certificate to pick out some fabric here!! Maybe that's what I'll do tonight while I'm sick and not out Halloweening. :)
