Happy Halloween 09!

This year for Halloween, our ward participated in a trunk or treat. I was thrilled to have this safe place for the little one's to have fun, and all before it even got dark. For the first time in quite a few years too, the whether was amazing. I actually got hot sitting in the sun in the back of my car. :)


This was our dead zombie that helped me hand out the candy. Most of the kids were thrilled by him. Some, not so much!

Rhett was so excited to be Tigger, but unfortunately the costume was just a little too small for him and he had the never ending wedgie all night long. Didn't stiffen his excitement for the night though, little trooper. McKenna was a cute little bumble bee that had no sting in her, and Wesley and Damon were both soldiers again. It is so nice to have that costume and the ready year after year.

We couldn't find any costumes that didn't cost an arm and a leg, so I was forced to make her costume this year. I was mostly pleased with how it turned out, but I fear that making costumes for her my not work much longer. Her poor wings wilted into nothing. She sure was cute though.

After the trunk or treating, we came back home to eat some dinner and to wait for it to get dark. I don't think Wesley and Damon made it to dark before they headed out with friends, but poor Rhett and McKenna crashed. Rhett actually fell asleep with his sandwich in his hand. McKenna didn't even make it the short drive from the church to our house.

We gave them a little rest and then we took them out in our neighborhood for a little while. They both absolutely loved it, of course, and between the 4 kids, we now have enough candy at our house to stock a store. I'm so glad that they all had fun though and enjoyed their Halloween experience this year.
