Halloween again

It's the first day of our Halloween weekend, which began with Fallapalooza at our church tonight.  Faith was Dorothy again because the only way to talk me into buying her another pair of red sequined shoes was to agree they could be part of a costume.  Dorothy was a popular costume at the festival this year.  Our children's minister was dressed as Dorothy with her husband as Scarecrow and their new baby as the Lion; our music minister's kids were dressed as Dorothy, the Tin (girl) Woodman, (girl) Scarecrow, and toddler boy Cowardly Lion; and there were at least three other blue gingham jumpers I saw over the course of the night.

Eric is a member of Lightning McQueen's pit crew.  Yes, he is wearing pajamas.  I could purchase a Lightning McQueen pit crew Halloween costume which is basically just a shirt and pull-on pants printed with Cars logos, or I could put him in the Cars pajamas he already owns which are basically just a shirt and pull-on pants printed with Cars logos.  I'm cheap and lazy.

Fallapalooza was less hectic than it has been in the past this year.  Usually, we've had Faith going one way and Eric another, and each of us follows after one of them helping them with the games and carrying their candy buckets and prizes.  This year, Faith met up with her best friend early in the evening, and they took off together; we only saw them a few times in passing until it was time to go.  Three more years, and Eric ought to be at that point, too.  No more Halloween stress!
