This is one holiday that we spend hours thinking about all year and yet it isn't something we actually really care about, with the exception of dressing up in costumes, well and I guess that we all really like getting candy. I decided that no matter how much the kids have talked about "what they were going to be this year" I was not going to put forth any great effort on creating costumes. That was a really good choice for me and it opened up an new avenue of creativity for the kids, and they created their costumes for the most part.
This was for the trunk-or-treat at the church where we had yummy soup and desserts and a costume parade before the actual trunk-or-treating part.
Bella even dressed up her grits for breakfast!
Zach came home from school with another impromptu costume idea
and that all I needed to do was to apply a little make up, so I succumbed.
We had a nice brief stop over at our downtown business trick-or-treating event, and I have to say they always have a good turnout- so much so that we only did one side of the street.
Following that Zach and Kaija hooked up with their friends to go trick-or-treating, that will probably the last of that sort, but they had a great time and came home with their bags full- just what we needed!
Bella passed out candy with her good friend Abbey- (her mom Kathy painted their faces).
And that was enough fun for this year; I am certain that they have the cogs turning in their brains to get the plan fest on for next year! Oh well, I just can't complain when creativity abounds and everyone wants to play dress ups- who doesn't want to do that from time to time?
