Never fear, my children did not attend church today in their Halloween costumes. As far as good photos of all the children go, I realized Halloween night was probably not going to be a good night for photos with the craziness of school and homework thrown into the mix. So I had the brilliant idea...

I am finally posting the vampiress Halloween costume that I made for my ten-year-old daughter. The one that took about 16 yards of fabric to make and probably weighs 10 pounds. Poor girl had to play her violin wearing the thing for the Halloween recital (and might I add that she played splendidly?). I will...
