Teletubbies, Trick or Trunk & Jack & Sally

We got to go trunk or treating at our ward's annual chili cook off and trunk or treat last Friday night. It was so much fun! No there are only 2 more days until Halloween!




Kate's Jasmine Costume was from the Disney store and all together would have been about $80 but they were 25% off and I had another 15% off coupon, plus Anita had given Kate a bounce back Disney store card worth $25. All in all I paid about $20. The Shoes are our favorite because the toes curl up!
Emily on the other hand won't keep a costume on so I really didn't want to spend any money on one. So my friend Amy down the street let her borrow this adorable Elephant costume! She looks so cute in it! She did pretty good to keep it on, only because as soon as we got to the church we let her take a break from it while we ate. But I am not sure if she'll wear it again (are your kids funny like that too or just mine - Kate was that way at 2yr old also) I have a back up black cat that she may be on Halloween night.



And yes... this is how Ryan and I showed up to our ward Trunk or Treat! Hey at least we didn't show up like this last year when we'd only lived here a week. :) We get the greatest looks and comments when we wear these! My mom made the hats 7 yrs ago and they have won a few costume contest in between. Usually for scariest!! -it's even better when you stuff them and bounce around saying "La La.... Po... ee-oooh" Anyone who worked with me at Datamark knows about that - and I think I did win the costume contest that year - I think it was for scariest but maybe it was funniest???

There will be more costumes to come for all of us so keep your eyes peeled! We Usually dress up like 2 or 3 diff. things each yr.

Another highlight this week was going to our friends cousin's spooky haunted house! She did a great job! It was really cool.


Last night I decided to paint our pumpkins with the kids - I THOUGHT it would be much easier than trying to carve then and take all the guts out all by myself! Really I think it was just as much of a hassle! But they turned out cute and Kate got to do her Spider all by herself so she was happy! I did Jack pumpkin and didn't know about doing Sally because I didn't want her to turn out looking really bad, but decided I'd give it a try - you just can't have Jack (or Ryan) without Sally!
