All Hallow's Eve

This year's Halloween costumes were a far cry from last year's homemade ones. It took all the energy I had just to pull together candy and some store-bought costumes. But that didn't stop the kids from having a great time.

Charlotte's sumo wrestler costume had a built-in fan to give her extra bulk. And Sophie's was recycled from a previous year, but still looked great on her.

I even managed to make one of the mushrooms that were featured in Martha Stewart's magazine. The flat pumpkins were a little harder to find than I expected, so we just had one mushroom instead of a whole patch.
