The last few Halloweens have found me sewing costumes at the last minute. Last year the entire Corbett family were dressed like pirates! Grandma (that's me) made all of them! This year, Nana (my Mom) made Ashleigh's "Dorothy" costume, but I made Kim's "fairy" costume! Since I don't get here until a few days before...it makes for some interesting evenings since we try to stick to regular activities during the day! 
Tim wore his pirate costume to work since they were having a Halloween costume contest and he hadn't worn it last year (to work that is). I have to admit, it's quite dashing! Ashleigh was Dorothy (from the Wizard of Oz) complete with red glittery shoes and a brown braided wig (which I hate/d), a basket and "Toto"! Oh well, she loved it so that's what counts! Kim was a fairy although you can hardly see her wings in the picture! Of course, the past few years we've had rain on Halloween but not this year! No, this year a cold front moved in complete with frost advisories so everyone wore jackets to trick-or-treat! It was freezing outside! It would have been a great year to have a very warm, furry costume! :-) Next year, it's water-proof, furry costumes all around! :-) Kim didn't make it very
long trick-or-treating with Ashleigh (she walks to the door with her, but doesn't get candy) before we headed back to get jackets! After that, it wasn't long before Tim and Kim came back home and Ashleigh and I tried a few more houses before Ashleigh was ready to come back home and hand out candy! She loves giving out the candy (she gives out HAND FULLS) and seeing all the costumes! She checks them out at the windows beside each door before opening the door...if it's "too scary" she lets someone else hand out the candy!
