Trick or Treat

Well we hope that everyone had a good halloween this year. We had a great one. We had a cute little skeleton for the trunk or treat. When I bought this outfit for Kyle I was so sure that it would fit him. When I went to put it on him it was really snug. This made me both happy and sad at the same time. I am thankful to have a healthy growing boy but he is growing so fast sometimes I feel like I can't keep up. We had him in the skeleton outfit for the trunk or treat and it was so small on him that I didnt want to put him in it again because its probably not that compfortable and not wanting to buy something else at the las minute I decided to just look in his closet and see what I could find.

I don't remember who gave us this little camoflage outfit but it worked good. I put that on him and put some cute boots on him and called him an army man. Seth said he looked more like a hunter though. Afterward though Seth came up with a cute costume that we should have dressed Kyle up in. His hair is constantly sticking straight up, so he said we should have bought him a black onsie and cut out a yellow lighting bolt and pasted it on it, puffed his hair up and he could have gone as electricity. I thought that was a cute idea. It didnt matter what he was though, he was cute in anything.

Haylee decided to go as a kitty cat this year. She changed her mind about a hundred times. A couple of weeks before Halloween we were at Wal Mart and she saw a Tinkerbell costume. She loved it and said that was what she wanted to be. I thought about getting it for her but with halloween still a little while away I thought there was a good chance that she would change her mind again. Well she did and she made a cute little kitty cat. I was actually really glad that she changed her mind because it was easier to make a kitty cat a warm costume and it cost less.

I decided that I was going to try to get creative with her costume and add a white tummy. I thought of the cat and the hat and got some white felt and just cut out her white tummy. I thought it actually turned out pretty good. I also thought that it made her look even more like a kitty cat. However while we were trick or treating someone asked her if she was a penguin and I thought maybe the white tummy wasn't a good idea. But I think it was just because she didn't have her ears on because they kept blowing off her head when she would run.


This year Haylee got to go trick or treating with her cousins. This is a picture of her cousin Chloe dressed as a bunny and Haylee ready to go out trick or treating.

This picture turned out kinda dark but this is the gang trick or treating. Hank was Thomas the train engine, and Dylan was a dark scary guy with a mask. His mask kept on scarying Hank though and he wouldn't even go near him. They all looked pretty good I thought.

At the beginning Haylee and Chloe were literally running from door to door. They eventually ran out of steam though. Here they are headed to the next house.

After it was all said and done I was amazed at how much candy Haylee got. Here is a picture of the final result. She was pretty proud of all her candy. Seth explained to Haylee all about taxes on her candy. I don't think she quite understood what he was saying but is happy to share a piece or two with Mom and Dad. We had a great halloween this year and Seth and I can't believe that next year we are going to have two little trick or treaters and we can't wait.
