Halloween

For the FHE before Halloween we carved pumpkins and ate Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory caramel apples. 

On Friday Luke and Matt got their costumes on for school Halloween parties.   Matt got his Captain America costume for his sixth Birthday.  Then early in October I found a good deal on the Hulk costume and bought it…  Hulk is Matthew’s FAVORITE super hero so I wasn’t sure how it would go down with Luke getting to wear it but tried to convince Matt that they could both wear it for dress up whenever they wanted.  The boys had an even better idea.  Luke would wear it for school and the Ward Trunk or Treat and Matt would wear it for the ‘real’ Halloween.  They were both thrilled with the costume sharing plan.

Luke as Hulk and Matthew as Captain America

I took Cookies to both Matt and Luke’s classroom parties and helped out with games and treats.  Both boys were thrilled to have me there.

At 4:30 these cute friends gathered in the girls bathroom to get into costume and do hair and makeup.  The Decade Girls… from Left to Right: Ally (50’s)  Maggie (60’s)  Kate (70’s)  Katie (80’s) and Emily (90’s)  Love these cute girls.

Off to the Trunk or Treat at the church at 5:30 for pot luck crock pot soups and then Trick or Treating outside.  The kids had a blast and the event was super simple and everyone loved it. Yeah for simple and fun.

Megan – Pink Girls 50’s Lady

Saturday night the kids donned their costumes again for the big night.  Megan had big plans to go trick or treating with Loryn so I took her over to Wolf Ranch for the night.  Megan was excited to be a ‘Pink Girls’ 50’s Lady and wear this pink silky jacket – (Katie wore it several years ago in Germany.)

Emily – 90’s Girl

Emily was the perfect person for the 90’s.  She wore Katie’s jeans so they’d be a little baggy, tied a flannel around her waist, put on an ‘inside out’ sweatshirt and fixed her hair back with a little volume.  When Katie and friends saw her they thought she looked awesome.  When Dad saw her he immediately  said, “Holy cow, I dated you!”  So funny.

Katie – 80’s Girl

Katie was excited about crimped hair and fluorescent t-shirts and legwarmers.  She’s the perfect spaz for the 80’s. Life of the party, that girl.

After the Switcheroo:  Luke as Captain America and Matt as Hulk – this time with masks.

Maggie and Gracie came to hang out with Katie and Emily and they took the boys and little Jane out.  Then home for Transylvania movie and more friends over and then headed over to another Halloween Party.  Fun Night.  Ryan headed up to Denver to hang out with Mark and had a great time.
