Lots of Costumes

 On Halloween the kids were not feeling great so we couldn't go anywhere during the day......we went to trunk or treat at night, but we decided to play dress up during the day.  We had a cute tigger and a pretty bumblebee.
On the Friday before Halloween there was a trunk or treat at my parents ward and we went.  It was lots of fun, they have chili beforehand and a "carnival" inside for the kiddos.  My dad was there, our fam, and Rick, Corina and baby Bradley (my brother and sister in law w/baby).

 I borrowed Corina's costume from last year, Skeleton with baby inside...fun and SUPER comfy.  Now Rick painted that on for her last year, this is no store bought costume, very talented folks :)

 For the this Breanna was batgirl, which she also was for her preschool party.  Here's a top shot of the costume :) Ethan was a "football guy" for the trunk or treat.  I am now looking for a clearance football costume for the child, he LOVES football and would love to dress up in it all year long.
 These next pics are for our ward's trunk or treat.  Mom and Dad came, Dad was a rasta man....mom was an electric socket, or someone who stuck something in an electric socket, with all the spikey hair :)  Very creative.
 Breanna was a bumblebee (mind you this is a 24 month size costume, but whatever floats your boat!)   She was very excited b/c I put makeup on her for the evening.  She has asked for makeup every day since then :)  (wow! actually interested in something girly!) Ethan we changed to a hobo, he was a little under the weather and the costume was PERFECT.  We dressed him nice and warm and he's always dirty anyways.  I got this idea from my sister's friend who had done it and she was right, it's the warmest and best costume for a toddler...they can get super dirty and it adds to the costume!   His face in this pic shows how happy he was (and that's how he acted all day). Ethan's costume was quite the hit at trunk or treat.  Random people were taking pics of him b/c they thought it was hilarious.  We had fun with the kids and trunk or treat is perfect for their age.  We trick or treated at about 10 houses afterwards and Ethan was in the stroller, didn't care about candy and Breanna said she was done at the 10th house, so we went home!  Rob is Robin hood.  He had an actual bow and arrow too for the costume.


 We really did have a cute bag for Ethan, just thought this one went with the costume best :)
 Breanna, done and done!
