Oaks Fall Festival

We enjoyed our evening at The Oaks Elementary Fall Festival for the kids.  This was a new experience for us since we had never participated in the local school events.  We saw and met several of the kids' friends.  It was nice to see so many parents and to see so many of the students dressed up in the American tradition of Halloween!

Matthew chose to be Optimus Prime once again!  This child is so very easy to please.  This is he and his friend from Mrs. Burris' Kindergarten class.  How awesome that he was Megatron!

Madeliene, on the other hand, had her heart on being a bunny again this year (year 3).  Well, low and behold, those pesky bunny ears are no where to be found.  So we improvised and we think we did very well--so here is your very own Snow Fairy.  Beautiful. In hind sight, I guess I could have walked behind her the entire time with bunny ears fingers over her head.  I think I would have gotten a mega-eye roll for even suggesting such an option.

Malcolm on the other hand was a cute as anything I have ever seen.  He is our puppy dog.  He actually wore his costume without being difficult.  If you could have seen him when he was walking around in that crowd of people.  The way that his suit was cut made his little tail wag when walked. So funny. He behaved as if he owned the place. My handsome husband went as a tailgator -UH Cougars No Doubt!

What a great way to start of the "Halloweekend" as my daughter so aptly named it. When we got home we mixed the candy cauldron.  If you have ever been to my house, then you have seen and visited the candy cauldron.  At least, that is the case for any child who has visited our house.  Come trick-or-treat with us on Halloween Night!
