Mommy Griffstein bought costumes, for Ava and Cole, that were "pre-owned" off of Ebay for very reasonable prices. Lila's hooded Marie onsie came from Walmart. After about two mintues, after getting everyone into their costumes and outside into one of the hottest Halloweens I can remember, we were all sweating and everyone wanted to take their costume off, and so they did. Ava had the hood of her costume off and unzipped. Cole was down to just his dragon vest costume and a diaper and very shortly after that down to just a diaper. He was already starting to break out in eczema on his belly from that short stint of sweating. Lila was like Ava and had the hood off and unzipped. Lila pretty much felt like the whole costume thing was extremely overrated and seemed bewildered by the tradition of dressing up. Maybe she'll be a better team player once she learns there is candy involved for her one day.
Then it began to monsoon and candy collecting was put on hold. The good thing is it was getting later and it sort of cooled the night off. So enough about our soggy Halloween. Here are some pictures and what you really wanted to find on the blog:)
