Halloween!

This year for Halloween I put in as little effort as possible, as usual.  I am definitely not that mother that stays up till all hours of the night sewing Halloween costumes. I AM that mother who scrounges yard sales and clearance racks for cheap costumes, however, which is why I told my kids to go pick out of our large array of get ups.  Luckily, my children are fairly still easy to please.  Quinn was a skunk, which every child of mine has been as a baby. Love this costume. Edyn was a chicken and made awesome screaming chicken noises "bwack, bwack!!"  Lucy wore her Ariel dress and wig that she received for her birthday this year and completed the ensemble with her choice of bows for her hair.  Isak really wanted to be Minecraft Steve (thank-you half off Wal-Mart clearance) and we just made his pick axe diamond sword. Which in the picture is of course backwards so you can't even see it.

Our trunk or treat at the church was Halloween night as well so we started there and then perused some nearby streets.

Oh and Kevin and I decided on Halloween we should dress up as well, haha, for the first time ever.  I donned Isak's batman mask and cat tail and Kevin wore his dryasabone and the creeper face.  We are definitely not coordinated but we had fun!  Please notice Edyn's mismatched socks and Quinn's feet hanging out in this picture.

Of course within 20 minutes Isak realized he could hardly see with the box on his head and it quickly became his trick or treat bucket instead. Lucy also ripped off her wig and just wore her dress.  All in all, the three of them did great going door to door and even Edyn had a pretty good handle on what to do and what to say.

And don't worry, I've already found Wal-Mart's 75% off costumes for next year! Hahaha.
