Sugar Bugs and Costumes

{ Harvest Carnival 2016 }

Do we? Don't we? 
The question of whether we allow the kids to get dressed up and beg for sugar bugs and cavities or stay home with the lights off eating carrots and apples is one we ask every year.
It's not something we put much energy into and I hate spending tons of money on something worn for a few hours. This year we scored some deals at the local consignment stores and found some play makeup at the Dollar Tree to add the finishing touches. 
Myriam loved being a cheerleader and Mom became "totally awesome" as I squeezed into my high school uniform for a little play time. 

Charlie was our Seahawks super fan while Addi fashioned the Mad Hatter. That leaves our little Lady Bug who wasn't crawling at all yesterday. Yep, we have a beginning walker on our hands!
Thank you North County Christ the King Church for providing a warm, fun, inventive and safe environment for our kids to hang out in last night. 
After a few stops at Grandma's and some friends, we neutralized 
the highs with some burgers and bedtimes. 
And now begins the game of stashing candy in places so the kids don't eat it all in a day...
