Halloween

 

We had a great Halloween this year. Trunk or Treat went well and the kids loved celebrating with the wards. Gemma had at least 3 different costumes that she rotated through. Lydia rocked out in the Squirrel costume again. I think we have 3 years of that costume and this year was probably the last. I don't think it will fit anyone next year.

Tanner was a werewolf for his second year in a row. And Ashton chose a skeleton costume, which was easy.

Our school also does a Book Character parade on Halloween. They have to dress up as a character from a book and then the kids parade around the school. It is for grades K-2. Thankfully, Tanner picked a soccer book so just wore his soccer uniform. Gemma chose Princess in Black, which we made at home. Except, she got lost during the parade and didn't get to participate much. She got embarrassed when she got lost and it was a rough day.

The kids made it through part of the neighborhood on Halloween and hit up the teachers that live by us. We had dinner with a bunch of neighbors and then went as a big group. Poor Gemma, already having a rough day from school, fell at least 4 times during trick or treating, which led to a bunch of blood and bandaids. It was just not her day.
