Halloween

No, I am not behind even a little bit...

At Courtney's work the theme was "medical". So he went with "construction accident". He cut off a huge nail and we gauzed it on to his head and then put some red for blood. It worked well for his job.
For Halloween this year we went over to the church to their fall festival and trunk or treat. The Fall Festival was way fun and the kids had a ball. We played all sorts of carnival games and the kids earned tickets that they traded in for prizes. The kids loved all of their candy from the trunk or treat, of course. We then headed over to the house of a lady that Court works with where the kids got a lot more candy (she seriously gave them handfuls). After that we decided we were still hungry, so we headed to Taco Bell and got free black jack tacos for Halloween.

The kids were so funny about their costumes this year. Kam knew what she wanted to be clear sense last year. She wanted to be a witch and wear an old dance costume (for some reason this dance costume seems to be glued to her body. she wears it a couple of times a week.) We sprayed her hair purple/pink which she thought was pretty cool.

Jaxon and Rylan both went as Batman. This was a large improvement over their previous ideas. Jaxon had decided he was going to be a pillow. I will admit a pillow would have been easy to make but, wow, we aren't sure where that one came from. Rylan had then decide3d he would be mashed potatoes...with a gun. Umm...yeah. So when the batman idea arrived I ran with it. The only problem was that while I was in the middle of their hats (on Halloween day) my sewing machine broke and I was trying to pice the hats together by hand and quickly. Ry's hat never did get finished. He didn't seem to mind once we got to the festivities. He still wears his shirt and cape around. We just have to watch him because he seems to believe he can fly if he has his batman suit on.

And sweet Ave was our little lady bug. Isn't she adorable?
