Halloween

We did so many things for Halloween this year! I have never done so much, but it was fun. Kassidy got to dress up FOUR times! Our first event was the "Trail of Treats" at the mall. There were SO many people there, and you had to wait in line to trick-or-treat. So, we would go to one table, wait in line for 5-10 minutes, then go to the next table. We went with friends, so it was still fun, but I don't think we'll do that one again. After a while, Kassidy just started sitting on the floor, she was so tired. I kept trying to give her candy to get her going again, but it didn't work. So, we left. This picture is of her right before we went to the mall. Raysha showed me these costumes online, but they were REALLY expensive, so I made one for each of my girls.

Here she is trying to sit down while trick-or-treating. It's also a good shot of her cute wings.

Our next event was a fun party at some friends' house. Levi went as "Joe the Hunter," and I went as "Jose Salazar," a construction worker. Cheesy, I know, but it's what we had. We decided that we must be THE biggest rednecks because we had all of the makings of those two costumes in our boxes in our basement, complete with an orange construction vest that had tar on it.

Next was our ward Trunk-Or-Treat, which turned into a Hall-o-Treat. It had been snowing that day and flakes were still falling here and there, so we all lined the hallways of the church to hand out candy. Give me a break on the picture, will ya? My costume was a "mommy at 2:00 in the afternoon." (yep, another cheesy one) Levi didn't dress up because he had to come straight from school.

Finally it was the actual Halloween. I made my traditional sugar cookies and we took them around to some people. Then, Levi took Kassidy Trick-or-Treating with some other dads while I stayed back with Kaybree and the girls. I was tired of putting her ladybug costume on, and I think she was tired of wearing it, so she wore the zebra costume that she couldn't wear last year because it was too hot in AZ. We had a lot of fun, and there were even more things going on (and friends to visit) that we wished we could have done, but by 7:45, Levi was beat so we called it a night and went home. Whew! Halloween was fun, but I'm kinda glad to see it go. I just wish all of the candy would have went with it!
