Luke has been reading Harry Potter this year and was the inspiration for our Halloween costumes. Since he wanted to be Harry - the rest of us followed suit. Well, Maryanne really wanted to be a pink kitty - so she's a pink and white Crookshanks (Hermione's cat). So, we've got Dumbledore and McGonagall and the heroic trio: Harry, Ron and Hermione. It was a really fun Halloween. My favorite part was watching Lucy and Luke dressed in their robes, pulling out their wands and casting spells around the house. "Expelliarmus!' And "Stupefy" And Lucy looking up spells in her book and (she's never read or seen Harry Potter) making up some really funny ones. (I wish I could remember what they were!)
So, when I say Harry Potter Halloween - it really was. I mean Harry Potter isn't new or anything and I haven't seen that many over the years but THIS year I feel like everyone we know had the same idea we did. Since there is such thing as Facebook - then you know what everyone you've ever known dressed up like. I decided to start counting. I counted 11 Harrys and 19 other HP characters!! So 30 Harry Potter costumes of people we know!! Not counting us. Crazy right? I was trying to figure out why all of the sudden everyone is in to Harry Potter. Joey said that it's probably because all our friends have kids Luke's age - so they are rediscovering Harry Potter just like we are.
our friends - the weavers. they added - trelawney and hagrid. I love it.
my college roommate Tara - how cute is this family!!! They've even got a dobby, a mandrake, Luna Lovegood and a muggle! (and trelawney and harry)
and the Primm Family!!
Our neighbors Chasity and Jerry threw their annual Halloween party and it was so fun.

Luke won something too.
We carved some pumpkins and made some yummy pumpkin seeds. I was proud of these guys. Lucy and Maryanne designed their own and Luke designed AND carved his own.

I always love your awesome coordinated Halloween costumes. Last time we did that was when Ethan was about 7 months old. Haven't had the time or energy since then. But maybe I'll be inspired as the boys start getting more into choosing their own costumes. Also - Omigosh! The Mandrake! I love that!
Thaaaaaat's it. Next year for your birthday I'm going to take the ugliest picture of you that I can and post it on my blog. Also, you guys looked awesome on Halloween! So good job on that!!😊
Those question marks were supposed to be a smiley face. Now my comment seems so mysterious!
