Grace as "Scary Ghost" & Sadie as "She-Ra riding Swiftwind"
It was a nice, quiet Halloween and the girls had fun. It was interesting to hear the comments about Sadie's costume. Some just said, "Look at the pony!" Someone even said, "Look at the pig!" (Not sure how they came up with that one?) Someone did give her 2 pieces of candy for having "The best costume of the night!" The top of her costume (aside from the wig) was all hand made thanks to the help of my mom and Dave. The sword we bought off Ebay but it came in yellow. So I spray painted it silver and added the jewels.
Grace's costume was bought at Walmart. She saw it and fell in love and would not let me try and talk her into anything else.
Spent the week in the Greenwald's beautiful cabin The back roads felt like a rollercoaster while driving into town
"Played in the woods"
Posed for some pictures
Went fishing.
We also saw "Legends of the Guardians" which was a pretty good movie. And we saw "You Again". That was a cute movie. Grace slept through most of it and Sadie watched the whole thing. We tried to take the girls to a fish hatchery but their website claimed they were open til 4pm but when we got there at 3:20 they were closed. No big deal. Not like we drove 20 miles out of the way to see it.
We had a good time. I miss living in a small town with trees and having to drive 20 minutes to go to the store. The peace and quiet was very relaxing and I hope to be able to go up more often.
Went to Laser Quest and played a game of Laser Tag and Air Hockey. Grace won 3rd in Laser Tag and Sadie won at Air Hockey!! Went to the mall and acted like a couple of crazy kids!
