Fairies and bumblebees oh my

 It has been a busy and over stimulating week!  Halloween, my favorite holiday. I love to dress up, I love to see others in costume. And I LOVE the fact that I can make my own kids costumes!  We went to Farmer's Market tonight, and while I saw a lot of very cute kids, I have to say, the home made costumes are the best. I also love seeing the whole family as a theme.  Parents as pirates, with kid parrot was a good one- we did the same thing 2 years ago.
We did a march through downtown, ending up at the park with a food drive for the Food Bank.  Muchos ninos.  Decided against returning downtown- I am keeping my 3 year old away from trick or treating for candy as much as possible.  Last year even the parents were pushy about it.  And Lupe already did trick or treating at preschool today (where as far as I could tell, she had the only hand made costume!)  And my Liam was also going to be a fairy, but I decided to put him in Lupe's first costume.
Below is Lupe as a flower fairy with her amiga Asiely in a photo taken by my friend Robyn Berry, a very talented family photographer who has been doing fun photo shoots at the park.
And we haven't even gotten to carving pumpkins yet!  In this town, Halloween is not just a night, it lasts a week!
