Trick or Treat

We met Jamie at The Purple Cow for lunch the day before Halloween. I'm not sure what we were thinking because it was pretty much a disaster. When the kids weren't standing up in the booth or climbing in the windows, they were playing under the tables or swinging from the nearby coat rack. It's always embarrassing (and annoying) when the waitress tells them not to do something...

After lunch, we dropped in Mario's office. They had some candy there for the kids. I just had to post this picture of Alexee because her costume was so stinkin' cute!

Both of the smaller kids wanted in the car with Rhett. Later, Rhett hooked up to an office chair and towed it around a little.

Jeryn made a cute lion--a little more sweet and cuddly than a real one don't you think?!

It's funny that Jaiden wanted to be Dorothy because she has never really watched the whole movie because I wouldn't let her. She sure made a cute one though!

I was Dorothy one year in elementary school. My dad drew a great picture of Toto on a piece of cardboard and we cut it out and put it in a basket to carry. I want to say it was fourth grade.

Jaiden helped me make the ruby red slippers with some old dress shoes, spray adhesive, and glitter. I sprayed something over it that was supposed to make it really stick, but by the end of the night, they were looking pretty rough...

We had a festival at our church, so instead of trick-or-treating, we just took the kids there. They had a lot of fun. I have never seen Jeryn so torked up! He was running as hard as he could in every direction. Mario&I had our work cut out for us trying to keep up with him.

Here they are playing a little game. This was just before Jeryn tried to drink out of the pool...

They had an empty tomb set up and one of the youth was dressed as a guard outside the tomb. I took Jaiden inside and explained to her what it was.

This last picture is of Jaiden with one of the sweet girls from our Stepping Up bible study group. She was there with her two little boys and Jaiden was excited to see another Dorothy!

Hope you all had a great weekend!
