Here is a better shot of Jade's hat. I love making hats now, and I had a few ladies ask me to make one for next year. Maybe that will be my Halloween business? Jade's hat had specific requests from her. I might post my hat sometime, it was a lot of fun to do.
My little monster and my Ben Ten. The shiny things on his head are his reflective teeth, then he also had 3 eyes, 2 horns, and ears on the hood. Josh had the exact same costume when he was 3 and I specifically looked for this one again on ebay. I will look for the same one in blue for next year, just like Josh had when he was 4.
Right after fighting.....Josh was able to pull off a smile a little better than Jade.
My happy little monster! He LOVED taking his bag up and getting candy. He mostly liked to pick it out himself, so he could grab a handful. But he looked so cute, no one seemed to care that he would take 1 or 2 handfuls of candy. It helped that he "sounded" cute, with his little squeeky shoes.
Mica came to help me out, and she dressed up WAY cute! She took Jade and Josh around for me, while Eddie and I went snail-pace around the block.
As my siblings will confirm, we have an INSANE amount of candy. (like 4 grocery bags full total, so we gave a lot away to siblings and cousins) I guess that's what you get when you have super cute kids and you go "candy-hunting" 3 times! (our ward trunk-or-treat, Bill's office of 400 ppl giving out candy in groups, and Halloween night)
Jade was totally wiped out afterward.....we all were.
They sorted all their candy, the stuff they love that will go into their candy drawer, (I let them take one piece of candy a day in their lunches, but this will save me lots of money for the rest of the year), then the pile of candy they do not want, that I will take and add to my "library candy fund". ( pass out candy in the library at church, just a fun little thing to do to get people to come say hi to me)We do not have pictures of the rest of the night, but Enos and Lindsay came over and we stayed up till midnight watching old black and white horror films from the 50's. It was really fun. I think we will have to make that a tradition. "Attack of the killer leeches" had us all rolling, even the kids!
