Let me give a little background on their costumes. About a month ago I started thinking about Halloween costumes and how much money we spend on them. So I told the kids that we would give them $15 each for their costumes, and if they wanted a costume that cost more they would have to use their own money. Spence thought about this for a while, then asked, "If I wear an old costume can I have the $15?" Why not! Then Allie ran upstairs and found a Spider Girl costume in the closet and asked to keep her $15 also! Coleman couldn't decide what he wanted to do, and I really don't think he wanted to wear his costume from last year, so he didn't dress up. He's never really been into costumes, so I don' think it bothered him at all. Plus he has $15 now! Brian and I told him he has to dress up for trick-or-treating next week if he wants candy!
Pony Rides have been a big hit for the last few years!
And later in the evening Allie visited the face painting table to be transformed into Hello Kitty.
Oh, and see that inflatable behind Allie? It's an obstacle course with two sides so kids can race each other. Spence was awesome at it and beat kids who were 7th graders! Coleman and his friend hung out there almost all night.

Fabulous! I tell my kids each year that their costumes have to be under $20. This year Hanna's was a little more but she also scored some cute flats ($3!) that she'll be able to wear to school.
