We went as the cast from Despicable Me 2 this year. It's a favorite movie for all the kids and we had perfect numbers this year to do it. Win/Win. The following are random photos from our Ward trunk-or-treat and actual Halloween night.
Such a fun Halloween. The babies did okay. We only had to save the newbie from her big bro a few times… But it was fun getting to have a first holiday with a tiny one again. She is SO cute!
This year was kinda different. Jon up and got sick. SICK. So sick. Me sleeping in the guestroom because his tonsils amped up the snoring to epic levels sick. I still had to wear ear plugs and there was two closed doors and the length of the house between us. So he didn't go out with us this year.
They kill me with their cuteness!
I couldn't find Regan's utility belt. So frustrated!
So this year it was just me and the kiddos making the rounds. It was good fun until Regan decided he needed to be held. I told him he needed to walk. He demanded to go home to Daddy, we headed home. About ten minutes before we got home they both declared their bags too heavy to carry. I became their pack mule.
After we got home Kaylee took over candy duty from Jon. She was giving out two heaping handfuls to her first several guest. We informed that the candy would be gone before trick-or-treating was over. She then limited her giving to two candies per treater. She had SO much fun this year.
After dinner we had our traditional dump and sort.
They didn't have to ask me too many times if a candy was safe. Regan kept chucking the chocolates at me saying, "Nope! Ouchy tushie. Chocolate is not for Regan." And Kaylee has gotten really good at distinguishing peanut chocolate candy from peanut free chocolate candy.
The rejected peanut/dairy filled goodness is for me and Jon to share. It's a nice silver lining to food allergies.
Kaylee: Hey Mom, here's a yellow M&M's bag for you. That's a peanuts one right?
Hope everyone had a great and safe Halloween.
Jon and I have dressed up for Halloween every year since we met. Well except the year I was on bed rest with Regan. It's safe to say this a tradition for our family. This is the first year we have ever done any sort of themed costumes. It's been so fun that I am already planning next years group costume. It started with Regan's Batman obsession. I decided if he was going as Batman then I would go as Wonder Woman. Finding a flesh covering WW costume was not hard at all! No really, it was easy.
When my costume arrived the children asked all sorts of questions about WW. So I pulled up the t.v. show for them to watch. Kaylee and Regan are now hooked on WW. Kaylee decided after watching episode one that she no longer wated to be Aroura for Halloween. She NEEDED to be WW. Finding a flesh covering costume for her proved impossible. So I made her costume.
Regan chose the old school Batman look so Jon went with the newer look. So the kids are wearing the more traditional outfits, and the adults are wearing the newest versions of these caractors,
I didn't realize until the next day that Regan didn't have his utility belt on. Sad. It was burried in the dress up box…
We had so much fun. The children are counting down the day until they get to do the door to door candy collecting.
