In our family, we don't let the kids go trick-or-treating once they get into junior high. But, we do have a church trunk-or-treat that happens every year (or has happened every year so far). Westley wasn't able to come with us because he was at a marching band competition all day. But Caleb came with us to the trunk-or-treat.
Aunt Kaori came over on Monday night before Halloween and we all carved pumpkins together. We usually carve just one pumpkin for the whole family. In their family, they each carve at least one. So she brought pumpkins for all of us and each person carved one. We made them scoop the pumpkin seeds out themselves, or at least start the process and then we helped get the seeds out. They had fun and enjoyed the time with cousins.
I took the younger kids out trick-or-treating on Halloween. Westley had a little get together at the house and Caleb answered the door for trick-or-treaters. Corey put Nathan to bed and then watched a movie. The kids had fun.
Caleb is a vending machine; Travis an FBI agent; Eliza a farmer; Jonah is Mario; Annmarie is Belle; Nathan is Charlie Brown
I'm proud of how great Belle's hair turned out. It was sort of an old, falling apart dress, but at least she had the hair! (and this girl has such great hair!)
The kids in their costumes for trick-or-treating. We switched out Annmarie's dress for the prettier one and I had a harder time with her hair. But they still looked good. I love years where the costumes are simple and put together from items we already own!
