Happy Halloween!!!

Batman and a Hippie Chic

For Halloween, we decided to skip the door to door trick-or-treating, and instead headed to the park where our ward was doing a trunk or treat, or park-n- treat as I called it. They made this big circle on the lawn, taped it off, and had the kids walk around the inside of the circle while the adults stood on the outside of the circle handing out candy to each kid as they passed by. After the treats were all handed out they met under the pavilion for donuts and hot cocoa. It was lots of fun seeing what each kid in our ward had chose to be for Halloween, and I think my kids ended up with more candy than they would have had they gone door to door. This year Ellie decided to go as a hippie chic. She was so cute in her decked out costume. I made her head band, bracelet, necklace, and earrings. I wanted her to wear tie dyed leggings, but she chose to go with the polka dot ones. But I still think she made the cutest hippie I have ever seen.Jake went as batman. I found his body costume at a thrift shop for a dollar, and he was so excited that he was able to add it with his cape and mask to make a full costume. When we got to the park there was this little boy who was dressed in a cape and mask who kept following Jake around saying look, look. It was so dang cute. Jake finally turned to his mom and said can you tell him to stop following me. I explained to Jake that this little batman thought Jake was the coolest kid in the whole world. Jake thought about this for a moment and then said ok little batman you can follow me around. Little batman's mom thought it was so cute. After we got home from the park we headed to the store and rented the new Ice Age Movie, and came home and had ourselves a Halloween party.
