Halloween
How much fun was Halloween this year?! I have loved getting to read about everyone's weekend and see pics of the kids all dressed up. I didn't want anyone to think that I am the "scrooge" of Halloween, but it was very low-key for the Owings Family and can you believe I didn't take a single picture?! On actual Halloween night, Eli was dressed as a cat (cute, little black fleece sleeper w/ feet and ears). We didn't go trick-or-treating, but we did volunteer as a family at the FBC Kingston "Fun, Sweets, and Treats". Jay worked filling drinks for the hundreds of kids, and I worked the cakewalk... with a microphone I might add. When the music stopped I'd say "Now everybody freeze" which I silently added in my head "Now everybody clap your hands... reverse, reverse..."! (Those are the lyrics to a dance song for you ole timers!) Eli hung out with Gram and anyone else who would have him. We had a good time, but were definitely ready to leave after about an hour. I have a new respect for all you teachers out there! Whew! So that was our Halloween in a nutshell! Can't wait until next year! (And yes, I ordered Eli's costume last night!!!!)

you went trick-or-treating at the cooley house:) so glad you made it over...i will have to send you some pictures of your little black cat!
Thanks! We'd love some pics of Eli in his cat outfit. I can't believe that I didn't get any, even though I carried my camera around all night! I was just so overwhelmed with soooooooo many kids at church!
What...no pictures??! =) Glad you all had a fun night. Did you really order a costume?? You are on top of it, girl!
Sounds like you all had a blast! Just wait till next year, Eli is going to have so much fun!
I cannot believe you actually ordered his costume for next year already. Wow... I hope he isn't too big/small for it! You crack me up! Why not wear the dragonfly costume on Halloween, though? Inquiring minds want to know!
Got a GREAT deal on the costume for next year and could not pass it up! We could not remove the wings from the Dragonfly costume and if you've ever been to FBC on Halloween, you know how ridiculously crowded it is! I cannot imagine having to navigate the place with Eli's wings banging into everyone!! LOL! The little cat jumper worked WAY better and he was much more comfortable.
Your family is adorable. I am getting a chance to read some blogs. Love to hear that you all are doing great!
Mee Maw was so excited to see him! She loves him to death, but right now he is so active she can barely hold onto him. I can't wait until next year either. I haven't got a costume yet, but I have many ideas. Love Eli's new layout picture. It is very cute!
