Our neighborhood had a trunk or treat the Saturday before Halloween. This is the first year we've gone because this is the first year it wasn't held on Halloween. It's a good test run for costumes. James got his costume on all by himself.
We carved pumpkins Monday night for family home evening. I never carve my own pumpkin because I'm too busy helping with everyone else's.
It took a lot of convincing to get James to stick his hand inside his pumpkin.
Erica's pumpkin house
Sarah's polka dots
Henry's reference to some internet thing.
And James's ghost.
Justin sliced his in half and propped it on toothpicks all the way around.
Erica as Princess Buttercup
James decided he couldn't walk well in the blow up dinosaur so he opted for a football player.
In helped in Erica's class party. These kids were so sugared out by the end of the party. They ate doughnuts on a string at his rotation and the previous station was frosting sugar cookies.
She cheated and used her hands. A lot.
School was nearly over by the time Erica's party wrapped up so we walked to James's class and waited for him to be done. They were watching a Little Bear episode. First grade is the cutest.
All ready for trick or treating! Henry left with his friends this year and Sarah went to a friend's house
We walked a lot but most people were home and the candy was high quality so it was all worth it.
Here's how they turned out!
Halloween morning. Sarah borrowed a friend's Wendy costume.
Luckily we had some cousins come over to make it more fun.
And we met up with Erica's friend. This was our first time staying in our neighborhood. We found the houses that gave out cotton candy, full sized candy bars, and even a house that was frying homemade doughnuts out of their garage.
