Trunk or Treats!

This Halloween weekend was a little crazy. We had our ward Halloween party/ trunk or treat on Friday night (which Jim and I spent all day decorating for on Friday), then on Saturday we drove down to Fort Myers for Jim's dad's birthday and attended our old ward's trunk or treat that night. Then of course Sunday was Halloween and birthday festivities. Needless to say, I think we were all a little worn out by Monday.

Here is Aidan at the Clearwater party. He decided he wanted to be Frankenstein this year, which was fine by me because his costume was super cheap, only $2! I made the hair and shoe covers out of felt I already had, and then he wore an old shirt and church pants with one of my black blazers. The only things I bought for him were the face paint and some green stretchy gloves. And get this, he won a prize for his costume! Go figure.

Here is Nolan in his costume. He wanted to be an astronaut and once I looked online and saw the crazy prices for astronaut costumes, I decided to make his. It was not as great as I would have liked but for the money saved, it was worth it.

And Zoie wanted to be a butterfly. I think hers turned out super cute, but it was the most expensive of the three. I bought the wings and then made the skirt to match it.

Here we all are at Bill and Elaine's getting ready to go to the next party, at our old ward.

We were originally going to do basketball, but then I realized we could save money by reusing Jim's costume from last year and just getting one for me that matched.

We had so much fun at both parties, and we really enjoyed being able to see everyone from our old ward again.
