The Many Costumes of the Hensley Kids and playing with my camera

Once again, Halloween became a week long event and the costumes the kids picked out originally were not the ones they wanted to wear! LOL.  We did need to switch up our costumes; as we had 5 Halloween Activities/Events. I'll admit that I like Halloween, but I am certainly ready to put the costumes away and get ready for my favorite holidays; Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

Silas was warm and cozy in his robot costume.

Grace rocked out her witch costume for High School Halloween.

Can you guess who is under the (last minute...really last minute, homemade) Grandpa Costume?  It would be my child we nicknamed Molasses due to her speed to get out the door. Hmmm?  Could it be Gracie? LOL

Ava dissed her original Tinkerbell Costume for a last minute cheerleader costume. I swear I will not buy new costumes next year! They never wear them and end up using things we already own.  They did have fun though, especially with all of the sugar in tow.

My decisive child.  Eli..."I'll be a werewolf", and he was for a consecutive 5 days.

My Kindergarten Class and Grace's 4th Grade Class got together to build a scarecrow  for the community contest.

My cuddle bug.

The Wizard!

Facebook. How clever!

Parties with friends!

Bobbing for Donuts.

Toilet Paper Mummies.

Notice Eli's new World Series Shirt hot off the press.  He was super excited to put it on.  Now...I am a die-hard cub fan; but I was excited for my boys and my girl who are Cardinal Fans.

Playing Games.

Cuddle Time

When I was a kid, one part of town really decked out for Halloween.  They did it this year. The kids were thrilled and had a blast.  Here is one of the houses.

Today...lets be Cinderella.

In the picture.

 Taking his role as a football player seriously and leaving the group festivities.

 He is off; but fumbles...

 He has a quick recovery and checks out his opponents.

 Full Speed.

 Full speed and no need for a helmet.

 Tackled by dad.

I wanted to "play" with natural light.  Here is my model. I bribed her to take 15 pictures for one trip to the dollar tree. Nice, right?
