Preparing for Halloween

Halloween is coming at the end of this month. We have a lot of decorations that we have collected over the years. When I got home last weekend, it was time to take them down from the attic and prepare for the holiday. Celeste and the girls bought some pumpkins for decoration while I was out. After last Halloween, Celeste bought some decorations at special sale prices that we are using for the first time this year. In the picture below, Ina is helping open up some of the new decorations.

The girls spent a lot of time trying to decide what to wear for their costumes for Halloween. Ina tried to convince Bethany to dress as a prince with Ina as the princess. However, they changed and now Ina will dress as Marilyn Monroe and Bethany will be a ladybug. Hayley told me what her costume would be, but I can't remember.

Rachel (who helped us paint Ina's room last August) is having a birthday party on Halloween night. The older girls will go to that party, while we find something else fun to do with Hayley. We have to make sure that Ina gets to go Trick or Treating to get candy while walking from house to house.
