We made it through a couple of crazy weeks leading up to Halloween. The kids each had their own Halloween parties/ costume parades/ celebrations to go to throughout the day on Friday, and then Trunk or Treat on Saturday, so we got double use out of the costumes this year! (We discovered it is NOT easy to keep costumes clean for 2 days in a row!!
You probably won't recognize this super Secret Spy...
Jaren picked Robin Hood for the sole purpose of carrying a bow and arrow. He had the perfect stick he found in the back yard and HAD to make it into a bow. And so he became Robin Hood. He couldn't take the bow to school-(no weapons rule)-so he was worried people might think he was Peter Pan. We realized there is a very fine line between Robin Hood and Peter Pan costumes!
I'm not sure how Kenna decided on a bee, but I do know she picked about 68 different things until I finally made her commit and choose one so we could create it. For some reason, she thought "bee hair" would be to have two little buns on the side of her head. She was pretty insistent on it, and it was very cute, but I'll never know where she gets her MANY ideas...how does she know how bee hair should be??
So, 3 new costumes were added to the ever-growing dress-up bin. And I'm sure my kids are already thinking about what they could be for next Halloween!
The kiddos got a ridiculous amount of candy as usual. We had them each pick their favorite candies and we traded them Silly Bandz for the remainder of the stash. (And Greg's guys at work love us for bringing them the leftovers!) The kids hooked us up- so I've got my own personal stash of Twix bars and Greg has his Snickers. I like to think of it as food storage-my one year supply!
