"This is Haloween..."

Well another year of Halloweening and trick-or-treating has come and gone. Now enters the phase of sugar overload and rotting teeth!
The boys had a blast again this year. Anyone that knows my boys know how much they love to dress-up. Having pirates, cowboys, superheroes and dinosaurs running around are a daily occurance at our house. Haloween is great for them cause all their friends dress-up with them, and then of course there's the candy!
The first night to dress up was on Thursday for the ward Halloween party. Only problem: Church rules is no masks. I told the boys this as we were getting ready to leave and they insisted on changing costumes, they were supposed to be Wolverine and Spiderman.
Brayden quickly transformed into a ninja. Black ninja suit, a headband, chinese writing on the cheek and a pirate sword turned ninja sword and he was set.\
Apparently Ninja's have a very particular face and sign

Tavita (remember he is on a clothing strike) was running around in underwear and a fireman's hat shouting, "I fireguy." He was refusing to put any other clothes on and since "Fireguy" covers quite a few words for him I convinced him he should be a "fireknife dancer" (this word is covered in "fireguy). Quick wrap of a lava lava, a wrapping paper tube with balls taped to the end, some duct tape and tissue paper we had ourselves a fireknife dancer. He was a hit and did several performances at the party. Brayden is now insisting on being a fireknife dancer next year, we may have to head home to Hawaii so he can trick or treat in it!
Chee-hoo

Kalei was already geared up to be a cat (she was going to be Catwoman) but as I was digging through the dress-up bucket I came across a gorrilla suit. We stuck her in it and then she fell asleep. So she was "Queen Kong" half the night and Catwoman the other half after she got to hot.
"Queen Kong" already had the top pulled off, cause she was too hot. It was one of those where the hood looked like the face.

Now she's a cat

Ready to Go!

Hangin out at the party

On Halloween, we stuck with original costumes and headed out for trick-or-treating. Kalei and I tagged along for our cul-de-sac and the next one over and headed home to pass out candy. Good thing we did since we got a whole 5 groups of trick-or-treaters. There was only us and one of our neighbors home and passing out candy so every one just skipped us. Needless to say those that did come got hooked up and we still have a TON leftover. Good thing I was sure to by mine and Junior's favorite kind of candies in case this should happen! The boys had a blast and Tavita keeps asking to go "Halloween" again and doesn't like our answer of, "Next year."

Oh yeah, she may not take a bottle, but she loves a sippy cup!
Must have it!
