Flashback Friday -- Costume Party

Once upon a time Grace LOVED care bears.  It was really the cutest thing ever.  She took them everywhere she went and cared for them like they were her babies.  It was adorable.  She has always loved her junks {stuffed animals}, but care bears were her favorite.  She doesn't care for them at all anymore and if anything seems a bit embarrassed by her former predilection, but that didn't stop her the other day from pulling out her old costume and playing dress-up.  The unexpected sight of her running up from the basement and prancing around in this {size 3T} costume along with the matching care bear had me laughing out loud.  Which of course only encouraged her and prompted Sophie to run downstairs and find her own junk-matching-costume to run around in as well.  It was all very funny, let me tell you.  But perhaps you had to have been there.  Hahahaha.

Grace's Cheer Bear costume -- circa Halloween 2008


Ethan's Frog costume -- circa Halloween 2004


Angel Jane wanted in on the action.


Happy Friday!

only a few days left!!!! although grace did tell me just this morning that summer's are supposed to be fun and they haven't had ANY fun all summer long. hahahaha. selective memories are great. it is so funny that jane is a brunette. i don't get it either, but she is hilarious and that is her go-to pose for pictures.

and freddie -- grace has been over care bears for a couple of years now at least. it makes me kind of sad to be honest. it was so cute how much she loved them. and i totally remember you being there for ethan's frog costume halloween. memories.

So funny because my kids have been into the Halloween costumes lately too! The best was Cole in his 3-6 month (I believe) dragon costume. Just wish I had gotten a picture of that one!
