My Ghouls

Since my children were little I have affectionately called them "my monsters".  The nickname was inspired by Sesame Street and the furry little monsters that captured their attention.

My monsters transform themselves on Halloween.

First was Chayse's mommy inspired costume for the school parade.

Later the tough hockey girl was transformed into a ghoulish china doll for trick or treating with her big sister.

The trio before departure--full of smiles despite their ghoulish appearance.  Nikela's friend good-naturedly embraced our Halloween traditions--even "gutting" her first pumpkin!

Love this moment.

My rocker sported his drum sticks with style!

He completely rocked the 80s.

Kiahra was MIA when the camera came out, but she sported her Steeler spirit with attitude which is rather ghoulish in 49er country!

In the rain of the evening, the freshly carved jack-o-lanterns glowed as the ghost hovered in the window.

In the morning drizzle, Kade noticed a snail that had found shelter in his pumpkin sometime in the night.
