The Cutest Trick-or-Treaters EVER!!!

I have wanted to blog since Halloween night, but I have not found the time!

Halloween was a success! The kids did great in their costumes, they were not EXTREMELY shy, and they seemed to have a great time. There were no tears...so that always equals success.

Halloween morning, the kids had something special at their school. They were allowed to dress up, but I really didn't want them to go in their costumes that I had planned for the night. I was afraid that they may get torn...or worse than that...they may grow tired of them and refuse to wear them that night. Cam had said that his was itchy when it arrived in the mail, so I was sure that he would not tolerate it in the morning AND evening. So, these rotten little children had TWO costumes. Cameron already had a fireman costume from Christmas and I simply bought the girls some bunny ears and a tail to wear with their pink leotards. Cody was the fortunate soul, who had to dress them for this event. :)  I must say, that he did very well! YaYa was kind enough to attend the children's parties...so this was event number two that I have had to miss in the last two weeks...grrrrr. Here is the pic Cody sent me that morning:

HOW SWEET!!!

 

That evening, MeMe and Poppy came to us. I can not braid hair, so I needed my mother's assistance! The kids were so happy and excited about their costumes! THEY. LOVED. THEM. You could tell that they thought they were SO cute....and they were, of course! ;)  We only went to a couple of houses that were family. They were NOT the most excited trick-or-treaters once we started going to houses, but they weren't around my legs, either. I find that to be an accomplishment. :)  Unfortunately, we did not get to everyone in the family that we wanted because the kids really wanted to go to the church trunk-or-treat. Although I am so happy that the church does this, I just can't understand why it is done on Halloween night! For those of us, who like to keep with the tradition of Halloween of going door-to-door, there is no way that it can all be done!

The cast of The Wizard of Oz...they LOVE that book/movie!

They were doing "We're off to see the wizard" in this picture!



There were all treats this Halloween and zero tricks....well...unless you consider the lovely mural that Faith colored on my wall that day a trick. Poor Mallory....she was blamed by Faith and Cameron until we found out the truth the next day. Looks like painting walls will be in my near future.

I also wanted to post a picture from a couple of years ago. This little trick happened after we got home from trick-or-treating. Faith and Cam ran to the front of the car and locked us out. I look at pictures like this and can't believe that they were up to such mischief so young...and then I remember who their daddy is! ;)
