We had a great Halloween. The day started great with Rachel sleeping in! We then went and got donuts for breakfast to surprise the boys when they got up.(Brandon slept really late and didn't get his picture taken)
We had a nice day at home getting a few things done, Rachel had great naps, and ran a few errands.
After dinner of a pumpkin shaped pizza, the kids got their costumes on. We had told Brandon that he was to old to go Trick or Treating this year. But when we decided to go with the Star Wars theme, and a friend had an awesome costume she had made for her husband, (Thanks Marie)we told him he could go and carry Rachel and her basket!
So this year we had Darth Vader (Zachary), Clone Trooper (Ethan), Princess Leia (Rachel) and Obi-Won Kenobi (Brandon).
They were quite a hit around the neighborhood. Rachel at first didn't want to keep her wig on, so to get pictures at home I gave her a sucker to play with. It still had the wrapper on it. And it worked to help get some pictures.
Well, they took off in a hurry as soon as pictures were done, and I forgot to get the sucker back. Good news, bad news. She kept the wig on once out the door, but got the wrapper off the sucker. By the time she got home she was covered in sticky drool. Her costume sleeves were stuck to her body!!! We had to literally peel her costume off her.
We now have more candy than we know what to do with, and some hyper kids. Glad it only comes once a year!!!
