Costumes

We didn't do Halloween growing up. So I have mixed feelings about it. I want my kids to enjoy trunk-or-treat at the church. I want them to have a blast dressing up. But ... I can't imagine buying costumes. They just seem so expensive. This (or something similar) is what my girls want:

I however, think I could probably manage something like this . . .

Or this . . .

Aren't those more fun? Sheesh. Who wants to dress up like a princess every year? So I don't know what we'll do this year. I don't even know if we'll go to the church as a family because it's usually fairly difficult with Ryan. He doesn't do so well in big crowds. Maybe he could be a hamster in a cage, and that way wherever he goes he can just mow anyone down around him. He'd love that! ;) We'll see . . .
