Costumes 2008: A Rerun (at least mostly)

We don't like spending much money on costumes, especially since we don't go trick-or-treating, but the kids usually have the opportunity to dress up for our church's fall festival. This year our church isn't hosting a festival, so the kids instead dressed up for our impromptu fall party at our homeschool club.

Jaden, like last year (and the four years prior to that if I remember right), decided to be a ninja.

Joely was again Raggedy Ann.

But Jerah chose to be something new this year — a cheerleader (oh, joy!), complete with homemade cheerleader pom poms. Jerah decided the WHS on her top stands for "We Home School."

Like last year, the grand total for this year's costumes was $0 (the cheerleader outfit was a hand-me-down from a friend), and yet the kids had just as much fun dressing up in the "rerun" costumes as they would have in $20 costumes. I'm so thankful my kids aren't terribly picky when it comes to dressing up for Halloween.
