Mrs. Burnette's Birthday Basket

Halloween Dry Run

On Halloween Friday, we attended SouthWood's annual Fright Night with the Underhills. Tyler opted to go as a knight in shining armor (although much of his armor ended up in my possession ... so I made a mental note NOT to dress him as that for trick-or-treating!) while Abby tried out her "Asian Princess" costume. Thank goodness (!) we did a dry run on the makeup. Poor Abby looked more like a clown than I had intended. Good thing she had a sense of humor about it! On Sunday night, we ran out of time to do make up, but decided less was more.

All treats ... no tricks!

We have such a fun time putting together these goodie bags.  Tyler is actually a big help now ... and Abby helped with hers too when we took them into school the day before.

Halloween Redo

We'll do anything for chicken!  "Except Abby," says Abby.  She's currently going through another non-chicken eating phase!  Anyway, tonight Chick-fil-A is giving free chicken to those in costume ... so instead of breaking out this year's costumes and messing them up, Abby is re-wearing her Raggedy Ann costume from last year.  And Tyler raided the dress-up bin.
