I have definitely made my feelings about Halloween clear.
But I know that my kids really want to be a part of what's going on in the world around them. And, as I repeat yearly, if I just don't make a big deal of it, it will eventually go away. (Thank heavens.)
The only thing I like about Halloween is being able to take cute pictures of my kids in costumes!
So here are my little ghosties and goblins. Okay, actually, a dragon, a Dora the Explorer (but wearing a big fluffy white coat, I kept trying to convince her to be a polar bear - it was cold), and a ninja. We went to a friend's party and the kids collected just a little candy. They had more fun eating ...pizza, cupcakes and, of course, chocolate!
Go see all the other great shots over at Tracey's Best Shot Monday.
Day 2 of NaBloPoMo and I haven't missed a day! Yay!

So cute, and I love the polar bear fairy idea ;).
They are so cute! I love the bear-coat and the Ninja is great.
Although not Jewish, I work at a synagogue (which I think I've mentioned) and Harrison goes to a Jewish preschool, which I am in many, many ways blessed and thankful for; but the current reason I'm thankful for it is that I don't really get into Halloween very much either and since it's not celebrated in school some of the pressure is off! Woo-Hoo! (ugh, a horrible sentence structure - sorry.)
Anyway, we are very low-key here too and it works well for us - so well that he wore the same costume as last year and spent two hours in a jumper - like last year.
Now, when it comes to Purim and dressing up - well that's a different story...
Great costumes! I hope they have calmed down by now!
