The Rhones: November 2008

Trick-or-treat

Gregory took the kids out trick-or-treating, and I happily stayed home, baking and handing out candy to the 6 kids that came to our door.

Thomas was an elf from 'Lord of the Rings'. Some people thought he was Robin Hood, because he had a quiver of arrows. I think this is the first year that Thomas hasn't been dressed as a soldier.
Mary Margaret was an angel. You can't see her costume very well, but she was really pretty.
Trinity was Little Bo Peep. Her blond curls were so perfect. *cute*
Grace was a flamenco dancer and had a very nice dress on.
Heather was a princess. Daddy bought her the most gorgeous blue dress. Heather, you are beautiful!

Eva stayed home with me, and we decided to dress Prima up in rainbow legwarmers and a silly clowns wig/ hat. She was a good sport.

Yay! Candy!

Chips!

Yummy.

After the kids got home, Gregory put on a fireworks display. We also saw lots of fireworks from across the water, maybe from Butchart"s Gardens?

Wow, that was a lot of fun, wasn't it Cin-Cin?

pumpkin carving

Oh, the gooey fun the kids have- scooping out the pumpkin guts and carving the pumpkins!
Heather - you can't fool me...I know you like this!

Mary and Grace are working together.

Here is the one Grace designed.

Aw.. Trinity drew the face and I carved it for her.

Thomas did this one. A curious little slug came around to check it out, too.

Halloween dance

Felicity and Eva went to a Halloween dance at their high school.

Felicity was a vampire and she looked great with the make-up, costume, nail polish, and she also straightened her hair. And Eva just throws on a pair of funky wings and a hat! Eva wouldn't let me put any make-up on her or anything.

You look beautiful, Evie!

So amazing

Guess who got glasses?

Grace and Heather! Here they are, checking out the selection of glasses.

With so many choices, Heather had to give us all a fashion show to see which glasses suited her the best.

Grace chose a blue pair of glasses that matched her eyes. Cute.

Grace told me that the chalk board at school was a little"fuzzy". Then Heather told me that she always has to copy the work from the girl who sits in front of her! Gosh, let's go to the eye doctor!

Don't they look sweet? Well, Grace is kind of excited, but still pretty cute.
They were so thrilled with everything on the way home. I have never heard the word "amazing" so many times.
"oh my gosh, look at those trees, they are so amazing!"
"I can read that sign, it is so amazing!"
"Look at those apples on the tree, they are so amazing!"
This was Halloween night when when they got their glasses, and after they got home from trick-or-treating, we were watching fireworks from across the water, and we all thought that it was ...you guessed it... amazing!
