declined a costume this year

It's amazing how a simple Halloween costume can become a snapshot of an entire season of life.

Looking back through these photos, I realized that costumes do more than capture who the kids wanted to be for one night—they quietly record how much they've grown from year to year.

  • 2006: Fairy Princess
  • 2007: Butterfly
  • 2008: Butterfly

Breeley

  • 2006: Kitty Cat
  • 2007: Tinker Bell
  • 2008: Butterfly

Dawson

  • 2006: Batman
  • 2007: Pirate
  • 2008: Skeleton

Wesley

  • 2006: Ninja Warrior
  • 2007: Motocross Rider
  • 2008: Pirate

Nathan

  • 2006: Ninja Warrior
  • 2007: Movie character (complete with a sword!)
  • 2008: Declined a costume... I suppose he had reached the age where Halloween costumes just weren't his thing anymore.

Time has a way of slipping by so quietly. One year they're excitedly choosing costumes months in advance, and before you know it, one of them is saying, "I'm too old for that now."

It happens so gradually that we hardly notice until we look back.

Wow. Wow and double wow. Your kids are too cute and you are amazing at photography. Good times! I am cracking up at Nate refusing the costume this year. Is he going to be Grinch at Christmas too?

JUST ME AND THE GIRLS

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls! This is gonna be a fun week! Late night movies, pizza, chocolate cake and popcorn.  Afternoon and late night swimming.  Shopping bags galore. New shades of lipstick.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the week.  Now hide the Nordi bags girls Mr. B.T.C is coming home:)

CALI TRIP

Craig Family Vacation Fall 2014 from Lorri Craig on Vimeo . The kids wanted to head to Cali over Fall Break. I had a few other ideas in mind, but the boys had their hearts set on taking their dirt bikes along and trying out some of the tracks in Southern California.  It turned out to be a good idea because they seriously had the time of their lives. Like Father, Like Son... There is nothing like family trips! We bond, laugh and create memories.  We sure did miss our oldest son Nathan.  He put it best when in a recent letter when he said,  "Well right about now you are probably on vacation. It's a bummer we're not all together, but that's alright! I'm over here bringing souls unto Christ, so I win!"   You can read more about his adventures HERE .
