Last night was our ward Halloween Party. Primary (which I am a part of) was once again in charge of the cake walk which is super fun as we just get to dance and pass out treats all night.
We started with chili and cornbread, then games, then trunk or treating. Glenn & I were so busy helping out with the games that we missed the whole trunk or treating portion and by the time Ethan caught on he only got to 5 cars. When he saw his sisters stash he was heartbroken. Emry & Lila can sniff out free candy a mile away. I am sure tonight will more than make up for it.
Emry's friend passed down this costume to us and we just added some fake leaves and sparkle and voila, she's a nature fairy. The cute red head is Madison, Emry's partner in crime. Madison's mom worked for days sewing this Merida costume and finished just in time for Hallween.
Madison found a cool Merida costume online for $900 and of course that wasn't happening so Shannon (Madison's mom) had to take things into her own hands. But by the end of the week which also included Madison's birthday party, another Halloween party, a lesson to prepare for church and the day to day of her other 3 children I told her the $900 costume probably wasn't a bad deal after all :)
The top I am wearing was actually Lila's costume from last year. I couldn't get the tiny waist over my head so I just ripped the waistline and pinned it back together to fit, white trashy and just my style. I just paired it with a hat I've had for a few years, some pants someone gave me and my own boots. Ethan's costume is borrowed from a family in our ward who has 4 boys and love anything army related.
We have 3!!!!! more Halloween parties to attend tonight plus trick or treating. The kids can hardly stand it.
Happy Haunting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
