Halloween and... Snow?

Okay, I know that those two things are not usually in the same sentence in most parts of the world.  But here, they definitely are!!!  There is probably a good foot and a half of snow outside so I was searching online for WARM Halloween costumes!  Sierra wanted to be a fairy princess. I told her fine, but you have to wear thermal underwear and sweat pants underneath your costume.  Wouldn't you know, she turned up her nose, so we looked for sweatsuit type costumes.

 

Here are the girls costumes this year! They are too cute and definitely will be warm! We are only planning on trick or treating a few blocks and then heading over to the chapel for their Fall Harvest Party - inside!

 

Karis wanted to be a Care Bear - so all her sisters wanted to be Care Bears too. No problem, right? WRONG! They only make Care Bear costumes up to 3T - unless you want the 'Sexy Adult Care Bear'  Think Playboy bunny with a Care Bear on it! Um, no, not for my 5 year old!!  So I just got her this cute little lady bug!

Ruby wanted to be a bunny. Um, yeah, what is with Halloween costume makers!!! I type in Bunny costume on ebay and a huge list of PLAYBOY bunnies pop up!!! AGGGHHHH!!!  So I added '5T' hoping to get more 'kid friendly' costumes.  There were a bunch, this one was pink, so of course she loved it!

And Sierra has really been into Monkeys lately.  She wanted Monkey sheets and pillows for her new bed, she wants Monkey shirts she sees, anything Monkey she loves.  So this is Sierra:

And of course they'll be wearing thermal underwear and clothes underneath!!! Don't worry, they won't be too hot!

Because this is what our DRIVEWAY looked like last night before Dustin shoveled it! Yep, that would be about 1.5 feet of snow!

The girls were all bundled up - and Karis was so funny. She reminded me of Ralphy's brother on A Christmas Story.  She fell down and just layed there yelling because she couldn't get back up! LOL!

And this is them all bundled up before they went outside. They were complaining they were hot!! LOL! I told them JUST WAIT until you get outside (it was 10 degrees).  So Karis lasted all of about 10 min outside, Ruby came in about 5 minutes after Karis and Sierra actually stayed out there until Daddy was done shoveling the driveway.

You do of course remember that Grandma Millie always had hot chocolate for your snow bunnies with marshmallows in it? It is up to you to continue the traditions since you have all the snow and we have none! They look like they are having a ball and growing like weeds. Ruby almost looks taller than Sierra? Or is it my eyes. How are you feeling, mommy? Hope all is well - love to Dustin too.
