The kids had NO SCHOOL today. They called it a teacher workday; it is the end of the quarter and they needed time to put in grades and what not. *WHATEVER!* I think they just didn't want to deal with a bunch of very excited children!
Anyway. . .
We had our traditional pizza dinner, the headed to the Trunk-or-Treat sponsored by the PTA. It was there that I remembered that I forgot to take their pictures at home! So this year everyone gets to see them in their costumes with a beautiful parking lot background!
Tacey decided to adopt my favorite college costume this year and went as Roadkill.
Tacey's injuries up close.
Tacey as roadkill. Didn't know that motorized vehicles ran in her Grandmother's front room, but there you go!
I think the cell phone hanging out of her pocket is a nice effect.
Dallin as Commander Rex from Star Wars Clone Wars
We noticed after the fact that the mask/helmet had no allowance for anyone to have a nose. His nose left a big print on the mask and was a red and squished at the end of the night. He totally didn't care. Ah, to be that young again. . .
(Actually it brings back a memory of crying while in my Raggedy Ann costume when I was little as my Dad wrapped Red electrical tape around my socks so they would be appropriately striped. I think Dallin handled the pain of an awesome costume better than I did.)
McCade as a Race car driver. We aren't into racing, so I don't know which one he is - I think he is Dale Earnhardt Jr. but I could be mistaken.
As I was saying (or typing) we did the Trunk-or-Treat then hit the most 'kid' populated neighborhoods; we also took along Wyatt their cousin.
Tacey and I had a favorite costume(s) that night. There was a little girl, possibly kindergarten or first grade who was Little Red Ridinghood. She had a sister that wasn't a whole lot older who went as Granny, complete with metal walker, and then their Dad was the Big Bad Wolf. It was SO cute!
As usual I overbought in the Candy department. I don't know why I bother; we are never home so we never give any out! But then we all know I would stop eating chocolate, but I am NOT A QUITTER!
This is a final funny for you - this is McCade putting on his helmet. This is a second replay. He did it once, but of course I didn't have the camera running, so we made him do it again.
What would we do without him in our family?
Happy Halloween!
