Here are the best individual shots that I got. It wasn't a great day for "photography" for me, but I took the requisite Halloween pictures to go down in history in their scrapbooks. (Now I can say, "See, we did love you we got you all dressed up for Halloween and everything.") Annika's only smiling picture, Dallin's only visible face picture, Ariel's and Adriana's school parade pictures.
Here are the promised jack-o-lantern pictures. After trick-or-treating and seeing a bunch of really great pumpkins I resolved to carve better next year. The two group pictures are right after we got back and took token pictures with Dallin (he stayed home with Papa to pass out candy as to not get sick), and one on the porch before we ventured out. Annika was going to be a mouse (we have a great costume) but when we got out the costumes and dress-ups, which is 95% girly she caved and had to be a princess. Dallin also had to try on some cute pink fluffy stuff, so it's good we got a picture as a cow, not a fairy or pioneer girl. I'm hoping he'll be a mouse next year. After going to 2 different school parades, I walked away thinking that I just couldn't get too excited about pirate, Darth Vadar, Spiderman, or Transformer costumes for him in a few years. Mostly because they almost all have masks.

With their fair hair, your kids could all pass for wee fairies.
Yay, fairies! Love those sweet faces and can't wait to see them!
Cute costumes. Are you going to ration their candy! I saw a thing on the news that 90% of parents raid their children's bags of Halloween candy. Funny!
Your kids are so gorgeous, Heather. Man.
Thanks Lisa, but flattery will get you no, oh, everywhere. Just kidding, they get their good looks from the Ukrainian side, just ask their grandma, she could go on for hours about it.
And Susan yes, and yes. I let them eat 4 pieces the first night and now they have to earn the privilege of eating their candy by doing good behaviors like practicing the piano, finishing homework, peeing on the potty, etc. . . I snack on my favorites at will mostly just from Annika's because she hasn't inventoried them all like the older girls. Ariel and Adriana are very generous with sharing them with me on their own. The rule for myself is that I will only eat the candy that I actually like and only when I really want to eat it so that I don't go overboard needlessly.
