Cartoony

(I have lots of photos from the last few weeks but I've got to get this Halloween one on today!)
We always have pretty great Halloween costumes, right? First we were Nintendo dudes, next the cute little froggies, and then those airplanes! And this year? Well, we wanted to go the inexpensive route, which led us to buying... buying... pre-made costumes from the second hand store. Sigh. I feel like a failure. The boys didn't mind, they liked their costumes. But I minded. It's all about me. But we successfully saved money.

So, my "story" to these costumes is that I, Dr. Frankenstein, not only created my infamous green monster but also brought cartoon characters to life. Pretty fantastic, right? I know, not. But it made me feel better to have a "cohesive" story.


Liam really liked being Woody! (in a winter coat)


Dash really liked being Handy Manny! (in a winter coat)


Grey liked being Winnie the Pooh!


And Sean was born to be Frankenstein with those teeth.


We went to our ward's trunk-or-treat, where everyone had fun rolling down hills and begging for candy. But, also, do you see that big black splotch? Yeah, it's in every photo from that night (or the camera would just give me an error message). After later inspection, the shutter curtain is stuck. Upon talking to camera repairmen, I either need to spend lots of money to replace the shutter or just buy a whole new camera body, which might be more economical.

So much for saving money. I think this is going to be my Christmas and birthday present.

My poor camera. My heart hurts. (I have a backlog of photos, so you'll see more on the blog while we get this whole thing situated)
