Happy Halloween!

This year the girls were "spider witches" using some Halloween costumes I found on clearance last spring. I spent a while looking for witch hats for the girls with no luck. . .until I went to our ward's Halloween dinner and trunk-or-treat! The table decorations were purple witch hats with spider patterns that matched the girls costumes. Well, I revealed my scroungiest side when I grabbed the hats off the table, pulled the newspaper stuffing out of them and plopped them on my kids' heads for the parade. :) Afterwards, the provider of the decorations insisted that we keep them. . .thanks!


Sophia got to be a little pumpkin thanks to a costume Kristina left for us last Spring. It was wonderfully warm that cold night. Our trick-or-treating lasted 30 minutes since I forgot to bring Madeline gloves and she insisted on riding her "motorcycle" (tricycle). Needless to say, our candy haul this year was tiny--the girls didn't make much money off me selling candy. It was wonderful: the girls had a great time and we minimized the bouncing-off-the-walls time.

Happy Halloween!
