These pictures were taken on Halloween in 1992.  The Dolphin my is daughter, Sarah and the lamb is me.  We had dressed up for her kindergarten Halloween party.

 

View from the rear.

 

The whole class.  We played games, had treats and lots of fun. 

It seems like about five years ago, but my daughter is now 21 and it was 16 years!

Time flies when you're having fun.  Enjoy every moment with your children.

Cute! Around here, kids can't dress up anymore for school. They miss out on alot that we got to do when we were little.

A photo memory that can never be taken away. She may be 21 years old now, but will forever be five precious years old in that picture. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Gary H. Oct 14, 2008, 9:57pm EDT
Jan you make a lovely Lamb, nice essy and photos
Kay S. Oct 14, 2008, 10:30pm EDT
I loved all the costumes. The "back" photo of your daughter really shows the fact that she's a dolphin.
Kimber F. Oct 15, 2008, 4:20am EDT
Thank you so much for sharing these with us. It does show how time flies. I remember going with my daughter to her Halloween party at school about that age. She was a pumpkin and I was a mime. They were good times. She's almost 20 now but it seems like yesterday. Of course, I have a 11 year old and a 4 year old, so I'm not out of the woods yet for Halloween. Peace
Monica H. Oct 15, 2008, 5:37am EDT
Thank you for sharing your costumes with Kids and Grandkids. The class photo was really cute also.
Jan S. Oct 16, 2008, 2:08am EDT
I didn't make that one. We always passed costumes around the neighborhood. There was always a kid the right size for every costume. Recycling the costumes saved a lot of money and it was fun seeing the costumes go around again.
Barbara B. Oct 18, 2008, 10:28am EDT
What a great idea Jan passing them around the neighborhood!!
Shirl T. Oct 18, 2008, 4:21pm EDT
that was great
Sharon B. Oct 18, 2008, 11:55pm EDT
adorable
Sarah (I want points) Oct 20, 2008, 1:32pm EDT
How cute! You make a wonderful lamb.
elizabeth e. Oct 20, 2008, 6:51pm EDT
They are looking like they all had a blast!
Rosa See Ya Oct 20, 2008, 8:17pm EDT
Very cute photos. I love the little tail on the lamb, LOL. This brings back some great memories for me as well. All my children are grown now, and we have some great photos like these as well. I love that you put the whole class in here. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that little girl on the back row in the red dress was my daughter, and the little duck in the front row was my neighbor's boy. They look like people I know, LOL.
Bhawana 'Gather Proud Mom' Oct 20, 2008, 8:42pm EDT
very cute article, love the rear view...lol
Delaune Michel Oct 20, 2008, 10:00pm EDT

I can't wait to take pictures!!
thanks for sharing this - it was beautiful.

Lambie and Dolphie --what a great year! Nice essay and good memories, Mom. I'm a bit surprised you chose not to document the now infamous "Halloween fart". Another story for another time perhaps? :) Love you!
Elsie Duggan Oct 24, 2008, 11:17pm EDT
Jan, this is great, love your pictures and the costumes, enjoy and remember those times when your kids are little, soon they are as old as you, lol. I know I wrote that and can't believe it, but it is true, they catch up.
B.B. B. Oct 27, 2008, 2:15am EDT
