Our Trick-or-Treaters

About a month ago we asked the kids what they wanted to be for Halloween. Cute Girl sweetly answered, "I want to be a hummingbird so I don't have to make more work for you on the sewing machine." (She was a hummingbird two years ago - yay for reusing costumes!) Handsome Face answered, "A honey bunny." We have no idea where the 'honey' came from but he positively answered "honey bunny" for a month straight whenever asked about costumes.

I put the Rocket Scientist in charge of costumes but because of miscommunication I ended up whipping up the bunny at the last minute. He did figure out how to make a bunny costume but simple directions found on the internet are SOOOO not useful. So many times, this year and in the past, we've found directions for cute costumes that require SIMPLE things like gray sweatsuits or green long sleeve t-shirts or solid colored beanies. But guess what? You can't BUY simple things like that. This year we searched for a plain gray hoodie and could not find one. Of course, I thought too late about ordering one online. Oh well. Handsome Face got a costume in the end.We trick-or-treated Saturday night with just over a dozen other families from church (mostly) and the neighborhood. It was so nice not to have to go on Sunday especially because we went out last night just to drive and look at the lights and the neighborhood was CRAZY!One family from the ward couldn't go out because Dad was working and there are too many babies for Mom to handle so we took the big girl Grace with us. She was the cutest, most excited girl to be going trick-or-treating. The kids had a blast having Grace tag along.After an hour and a half of driving around the neighborhood with our friends, the Porters, and visiting all our church buddies' homes, the kids got two treats, a shower, and then BED! Yay for bed on Halloween!
