Thanks Aunt Hillery for costumes! We have been wearing a variety of costumes on different days. Lucy loves bees, and, in fact, any small flying insect is called a bee. We're still trying to capture a couple of those costumes on film, but here's what we were wearing while handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. Lucy was a ladybug ("bee") . . .
Anna Kate, almost always the attentive biggest sister and sometimes confused about who really is the mom, was an elephant (again) . . . Here's how that happened. Lucy still changes sizes pretty regularly, so anytime we dig out new clothes for the season or a new size, we have to cover whether Anna Kate wore it and when and
maybe it still fits - can she just try it on and see? Anna Kate was wearing the very beautiful, big-girl Cinderella dress, when she decided she would rather wear the bumblebee (the yellow bee, not the ladybug), which is size 18months. So, there I was in a predicament because I had to help her understand that a costume she wore two Halloweens ago, would definitely not fit. So, in my desperation I dug around and found the 2T elephant costume, not quite 2 sizes too small. Oh well.
Just for the record, here's Anna Kate (Halloween 2005) in that very bumblebee costume!
Here are all three together . . . what a moment!
I also did not have the energy to carve pumpkins, and especially to clean up after the carving, so we opted for decorating a pumpkin. Anna Kate created this . . .
Notice the red forehead above the eyes and the earrings on the ears - what attention to detail!

these are so cute!! If it is any consolation to you, Madison has worn the same princess costume for the last two years...and...for the last three days :).
Bren calls every small thing a bee too...but maybe that's because he (and maddie and me)were all stung by bees this summer....whatever lucy calls it she sure looks cute.
I love the "just for the record" blurb. You are so funny! I miss you Meg!
i hung out w/ beth yesterday ( she was in TX for the Baylor/Tech game)...and we were reminiscing a bit about our early phi lamb days...i asked about you and she told me to check out your blog. your girls are beautiful :) my son also wanted to be a ladybug for halloween ..... he would be very jealous of lucy's costume. dad insisted on a dinosaur instead!
"What a moment" indeed! And I trust there will be many such moments with Grandma & Hannah there.
Have wonderful days & moments.
Snowing hard here: Hallelujah!
Love to the moment-makers and to all a good-night!

Your daughters are precious. I love the "costume" age. Suzi S.
