Gabriel - Nerd (note the pocket FULL of pens, calculator and glue bottle relabeled as "nose spray")
Katrina - Friendly Vampire
Abagail - Felicity - from American Girl
Simon - Luke Skywalker
Oliver - Pirate
Amelia - Piglet
Luke Skywalker was such an easy costume for Simon. He has the hair, he has the eyes, put on an old Karate uniform and let Katrina craft him a "lightsaber" and we are good to go.
Oliver and Simon were very excited to go trick-or-treating.
For those who don't know the tradition...Amelia is our 6th piglet. I made Gabriel this costume when he was a year old for Halloween. Each time a child has been about a year - give or take a few months - this is their costume by default. I'll have to get all those photos together one of these days and see just who looks the most alike when all you can see is their face.
It turned out that Gabriel went out with some friends in another neighborhood. Katrina and Abagail went around with another friend that would move "faster than mom would". That left me taking Simon, Oliver and Amelia around. It was way easier when the kids were closer in attention span, speed, and leg length! - Amelia of course was in the stroller.
