Hallowrina

About a month ago Lucy decided she wanted to be a pink flower. I was brainstorming how I was going to make it happen and was happy with that idea. About a week later she was riding with a couple of friends and they said they were going to be ballerinas. She became passionate about being a ballerina also (the power of peer pressure). I thought that was a fine idea, but started looking around and decided it wouldn't be as easy as I thought. We decided to step away from being a ballerina, but ever sense, Halloween has been called Hallowrina. So finally she decided she wanted to be Lolly from Candy Land for Hallowrina. I told Lucy that was her final answer and we went with it. I took out the old sewing machine (which doesn't come out often enough), bought some candy, and went to work. As for Will, I was going to make him Lord Licorice from Candy Land, but the creative groove stopped and he became a M&M to go with the theme. They were so sweet (pun intended).


Our good friend Peter ends up spending a lot of special occasions with us, he's become a regular and joined us for an Autumn feast. Lucy and Will helped gather the leaves for the table and get ready for the meal. We had Cornish game hens and yams- pretty scrumptious.

Will was not at all pleased with his costume. Nate kept saying, "I don't blame him". Nate thought we should have made him a truck driver, knight, or warrior. The costume was looking hopeless until we started to give him a taste of what Halloween's about ... Candy! We started saying , "great costume Will, here have a piece of chocolate". It didn't take long before he decided he could cope with wearing the costume if the theme of candy continued.


Note above the chocolate around Will's mouth. Time to go out and get some more candy!



Above are our friends Maggie and Caroline who we ran into while trick-or-treating. These are the two who inspired the new name for Halloween, Hallowrina that is.

Time to come home and dig in!
