This year was a little tricky and treaty...five kids...five years old and under. Costumes, candy, fall festival, trick or treating...I'd say we had fun! C was Commander Cody (a clone trooper from Star Wars), K was an Angel (costume completely homemade--thanks Jennifer and Becky), F a pumpkin, K-bel a Tulip Fairy (whatever that is :), and Baby T was a Jack-O-Lantern (simply a onesie).
Our church in the new hometown, which is significantly smaller than the old hometown, had a fall festival. I can honestly say that I feel like over half of the new hometown was in the church for some fall festivities. Thankfully, a sweet friend saw me walk in the door Hubs-less (football season, remember?) and helped with a couple of the girls. K gets a little overwhelmed and slightly withdrawn in big crowds and F, well F just can hardly handle all the stimulation, so after a few booth stops for candy, Gigi (our sweet friend) took them outside to sit and eat cupcakes. THAT was a lifesaver.
Friday night, our sweet Gigi came over since I was obviously Hubs-less again (football game night) and we took the munchkins to a few houses to trick or treat. They were very spoiled with lots of goodies because we did some selective trick or treating. :) At one house, they were given gift bags with candy and a movie in them...each kiddo was given one! Crazy, but sweet.
This next week of blogging is going to have to include some halloween week pictures as well...pumpkin carving and boo cookies for starters! :)
Oh...and just so you know; here is what happens when you don't give this baby what she wants...
