Halloween Part One

Tonight was our Trunk Or Treat Party at the Church. Last night at 10 p.m. I officially finished the three Halloween Costumes for the younger kids.... whew... what a relief! This is the one and probably only Halloween that my kids are dressed up in a matching theme, so I'm going to milk all the photos out of it that I possibly can!

I ended up making Megan's headband from a coat hanger and lots of cute ribbon and flowers. I now know that Eric and I will be able to support ourselves in retirement if our 401k never recovers... we can work the Renaissance Fair Circuit... I will make these... and he knows how make a mean looking wooden sword that little boys will go crazy over.

Check out those Sweet Thomas Light Up Sandals that are clearly too small... but still manage to find their way onto Brayden's feet more often than not....

The problem with Halloween in the desert.... at 3 p.m., it's over 90 degrees... and clearly too hot for any really cool costumes... like our friend in the middle of this photo who started off the party as the "Cowardly Lion", but had to shed some layers to avoid overheating... snow cones definately help to beat the heat, though!Megan and Dorothy.... wait a minute... where did Toto go? Brayden had no problem with the concept of Trick or Treating this year... He had a great time! And now I have a whole extra week of snitching Halloween candy from my kids... just when we get rid of all the good stuff, we'll get some more on Friday night!
