Halloween

Happy Halloween nearly a month late!

The Kraupp kids love Halloween. Megan is still talking about it the day before Thanksgiving. Annie enjoys the candy, but could go without dressing up. Speaking of dressing up, it seems there are more and more events each year for which we put on costumes and celebrate Halloween. I think we dressed up three or four different times this year.

Annie was...dressed up. Everyone kept asking her what she was. I told her to just say, "I'm dressed up."

Emma was Dorothy. Grandma Jo was kind enough to sew us a skirt, and Sophie was kind enough to let us use Halloween paint to spray her black.

Jacob was an astronaut. It was perfect considering how much he enjoyed the Kennedy Space Center this past spring and it cost $1.99.

Megan was Minnie Mouse. It was her third year dressed as Minnie and I have enough costumes in the Halloween box for three more years of the same. Considering she thinks she owns Disneyworld, what else could she be?

Justin dressed as Buzz. What else would he be?

We sure feel blessed to have all these girls in our life!

On Halloween night the Kraupp Kids got to do something they have never done before--ring door bells, say trick or treat and hold out their bags for candy. Living in the country like we do, it just isn't something they have ever done--so we thought it would be fun to trick or treat in Grandma and Grandpa's neighborhood.

It was a fun but long day and there were some tired kiddos on the ride home.
