Halloween!

Hard to believe Halloween is almost here! We have no special plans for the holiday, except to make the move to my folks in preparation to make room for Eliza. It's too bad, too, as I actually have an idea for costumes this year: since I'm about 8.5 months pregnant, I always thought it would be funny if Nick and I dressed up as Abraham and Sarah from the Bible! But, I guess we don't have much to raid in our closets in the way of making costumes or too much extra cash to go out and buy stuff, so it works out in the end. My sister and her family are coming over to help us shift around furniture, and I'm sure I will get the duty of making sure the boys are out of the way and directing where to place furniture in our bedroom, as I won't be allowed to lift or carry very much around. Perhaps Miss will bring the boys' costumes with them and we can take them to the Halloween Alternative at the church.

Every year Central Park puts on a Halloween Carnival at the community center. We're hoping for big numbers this year as it's a Saturday! There are games and prizes and lots and lots and LOTS of candy. Which, if it doesn't get eaten, the youth group always seems to end up helping polish off... It would be fun to take Jim and Mike in their Iron Man and Optimus Prime outfits, respectively, and watch them play. They put on their costumes for us at Mikey's birthday party, and Jim couldn't hold still in his!

Anyway, since I don't get much chance to celebrate the costume holiday, I've decided to show a little holiday spirit on the blog here. :)
