Costumes were last minute this year. Catherine was the only one who had thought it out ahead of time. For a month or so, she had been planning her 'cowgirl' costume, which she was really pleased with although, a real life cowgirl, she dresses that way all the time! Jess and Andrew's final costumes were my idea as we went online to seek 'easy', 'do-it-youself' costumes. Jess was a 'black cat' and Andrew a 'quarterback', fitting to go along with his position in football this year. Jess wore her dri-fit running pants, jacket, and gloves with a braided, satin ribbon for a tail and headband with black paper ears taped on with black electrical tape. Her face make-up was the final touch: smoky cat eyes, whiskers and nose. We printed a 7 1/2 inch photo of a quarter off the Family Fun website and glued it to a cardboard cutout wrapped in foil. This 'quarter' was duct taped to his back.
We spent Halloween in Tualatin with friends, having dinner together and trick-or-treating. There were 4 girls from Jess's youth group, a group of high schoolers from our church, and several younger kids and adults at the house that night. We had a lot of fun visiting with everyone.

Fun! Crazy to see Jess with makeup on- she looks so pretty, but so grown up!
It's for Halloween ONLY!!! No, whatever, I'm not too concerned. She doesn't really want to wear make-up yet. She brags that she doesn't need it. She was hilarious, though. She couldn't hold still, could barely keep her eyes open, and they watered really bad while I was applying...so she's not a big fan of eye make-up.
She does wear mascara and some lip gloss on 'dressy' days, but really natural so I love it.
