Happy Halloween!

Here are all the awesome costumes! We had a great time showing them off! Jacob and Isabel came to my work and went trick or treating up and down the cubicles and brought home over 5 pounds of candy EACH! And of course, we still had to go to Jimmy's ward's Trunk or Treat, my ward's Trunk or Treat, and then hit the neighborhood. By the time we got home that night each kid had over 10 pounds of candy. Way too much! So we went through it and got rid of 4 pounds of "undesirable" candy (like jawbreakers, generic stuff, candy that rips out teeth, etc....) and we still have two huge bags of candy left. *Big Sigh* So we won't need to buy stocking stuffers this year.... (yeah, right!) So if anyone needs/wants candy...please come over!! :)

Something really funny, Isabel out lasted Jacob this year. She went for a whole hour longer that Jacob! She LOVED going to all the houses! She was so cute and very polite!

Finally, here are the costume pictures:
Introducing 'Shadow the Hedgehog!' (If you don't know who 'Shadow' is then click here!)

My goofy boy! One of these days I'll get him to smile normally in front of the camera....

Okay... I am really proud of how this hat turned out! I didn't have a pattern and I made it from a knit hat, two Christmas stockings, and a fleece scarf. :) I impressed myself!

A beautiful Blue Fairy! After a few adjustments to bring in the bodice, the costume finally didn't look like it was about to fall off. Isabel was very happy with the results! She's so cute!

Flying and dancing around!

So Beautiful!! Isabel loved her purple hair and refused to take a bath until I made her take one the next night!

My wonderful friend Melissa dressed up in my pirate costume and I dressed as a 'Pink Lady' with my committee. When I got home, I darkened my eye makeup, painted my nails black, lined my lips in black, applied dark purple lipstick, and put on black clothes. I was a great looking witch!

And last but not least: Luffy!! Heck yes!!

This year's Halloween was a lot of fun. Hopefully next year's will be just as fun, but with less candy!!

The kids look awesome! Great job on the Sonic headpiece! I think Isabel should always have purple hair;)

I have to agree with Andi! Isabel should definitely be allowed purple hair. It seems to suit her!

Lu-ffy! Lu-ffy! \m/,

Well done on the hedgehog costume! I think his name's dark, but I could be wrong. I totally recognized him in a second. Isabel looks so good in her costume. And, I gotta say, you look hawt in your pink puffy hair!
