Boo!

I think our blog has fallen stagnant because Kirsten is waiting for me to pay homage to the awesome Halloween costumes she made for the kids.

Soren began insisting he wanted to be "a spooooky convertible Corvette" in July. We asked him repeatedly, hoping he'd change his mind, because how would we make that? It's not just a car, it's a particular model, and a spooky version at that! Soren held his ground; it was the most stable preference of his life.

Kirsten thought hard, and came up with this classic design:


It even looks great in the driveway!


Soren and I were stopped by three different fathers who specifically complimented his Corvette. One even recognized it as a '57!

Sigrid didn't have many ideas for her costume, but the plumber who came to fix our water heater a few months ago thought she looked just like Cindy Lou Who. He was right.


When Sigrid tired of her props, Kirsten thought she'd try them herself to see if she could get some candy honestly, rather than just stealing from the kids.

It didn't work, but if the The Grinch had been walking down our block, he surely would have gone running back to his cave!
