The costumes
Yes, it is 3 days after Halloween. It's going to take me a while to get through my pictures. It's kind of like making the Halloween candy last until Thanksgiving, right? :-)
Here is Mosey. He had foot coverings, too, but didn't wear them to the park that day. You can't see his tail, but it is cute!
Those are amazing costumes!But what I love best is the expressions of pure delight and pride in the faces of your boys. I realize that NO AMOUNT of money would be enough to compensate you for the enormous effort involved, but hopefully the intangible rewards of seeing your boys so happy made it all worthwhile. What we do for love...
PS -- That comment was typed while munching a KitKat bar -- left-over Halloween candy. I expect ours will last beyond Thanksgiving, unless my hiding place is discovered :)
I am a Christian, a wife, mother, homeschool teacher, perfectionist, night-owl, reader, conservative, photographer, and a lot more.
I have 3 boys-- 11 year old twins named Joseph and Brigham, and a 9-year-old named Moses.
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005. I went from a 30-mile-a-week runner to being mostly wheelchair-bound in 2 years. In 2008 I was accepted into the HALT-MS study-- a clinical trial in which I underwent an autologous stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant) in an attempt to put the disease into remission. So far, I have remained stable for more than four years!
I am grateful every day for the new lease on life that God (and modern medicine and awesome doctors, but mostly God :-)) has granted to me, and the chance I have to teach and raise my boys, love my husband, and experience the joy, frustration, happiness, and heartache that life brings.

so, what did the South think of having a Union soldier in their midst?
