What are you gonna be for Halloween Night?

McKenzie was a gothic witch. . . the hoop skirt did cause some issues with sitting at her desk, but all the trouble was worth the candy provided.

Madison was Hermione from Harry Potter (seriously, if you didn't know that from the picture you need to spend some quality time reading).

Carter was a hunter. He had every intention to make a paper gun to carry around, but even paper violates the "no weapons at school" rule. . .so obviously, he did not get to make the gun.

Laityn was a witch. . . "not the ugly kind, the pretty kind".

Jace was a BYU baseball player. . . he flexed his muscles so you could all see how manly he is. . . just minutes after this picture, he was carrying around a baby doll and shushing it so it would go to sleep----not so sure about the manliness now!

Halloween was a fun day---like always. The kids were all in the costume parade at school. Late in the afternoon, we went to Tim's school for a trick or treat in the halls. We eventually made it home and went candy hunting in our own neighborhood. Then it was off to grandma's house for sloppy joes, potato salad, Krispy Kremes and . . . more trick-or-treating. By 10:30 the candy had been weighed and all the kids were sleeping soundly in their beds. Hooray for the day!

Cute costumes! I love seeing what everyone comes up with...such fun. 20 lbs of candy? Whoa! The girls are only two, we went to 10 houses tops and I'm wondering what to do with what we've got.
