Hahaha...can't go a Halloween without having a posed scared photo. Totally classic.
We had our ward Halloween Party Saturday Night. I had good intentions with the costumes but I seemed to have one blunder after another. I was making Paul's costume. I had him try it on before I finished and he told me he looked like the green giant. I gave up and let him be the green giant....I'm pretty sure he didn't want to be Peter Pan anyway. After finding Audrey's tinker bell costume, I was looking for the perfect blue night gown that I could refashion at the thrift store to be Wendy but came up empty handed. I settled for refashioning something into a fairy costume.
Next year, like every year, I commit to start earlier. Earlier means crazy awesome costumes!
I found out this year that I can no longer allow myself to eat endless amounts of sugar without side effects. ugh! It must be a sign that I'm getting older. I also found out trunk-or-treat isn't like it used to be when I was a kid. A plain dark trunk with scary music just isn't acceptable anymore. Next year I will be prepared to deck my trunk out with all kinds of scariness. I also realized that polite trick-or-treating is a thing of the past. If you want 20 pieces of candy just stick your grimy little fingers in there and take what you please. And by all means, yell things like...."I'm not leaving till I get my candy!" I bought 4 bags of candy thinking that I would have a few Snickers left for myself but I was sad to find out that the ward we were combining with had 170 children in their primary! No Snickers for me. By the time we started with the trunk-or-treat Audrey was exhausted. She didn't even get to visit one trunk. Maybe next year. Maybe tomorrow I'll get brave enough to visit my next door neighbor....or maybe I won't.

Way to go Mom! The costumes are darling! For the past two years I've been telling myself that I would make Anabelle's costumes, but that never happened. Maybe next year, right...
