I didn't understand that when Brig wanted to be "Quidditch" Harry Potter for Halloween that it might have something to do with "Hermione".
Ben wanted to be a phantom, but it came with a mask and flashing red eyes that he couldn't wear to school. So instead I applied his make-up in the car on the way to school. The dark circles are only partially make-up, since we stayed up way past our bedtime at Heather's fun party last night.
Jake begged for this Luke Skywalker costume that we ordered online; I tried to talk him into Han Solo in keeping with his Harrison Ford tradition, but to no avail. It's a sad day when peace-keepers like the Jedi, aren't allowed to carry their lightsabers at school.
A group shot right before the boys went trick-or-treating. It was raining really hard, so they all wore ponchos over their costumes.
Rachel had a fun party with 15 of her closest BFF's. We ate lots of spooky treats, told scary stories, played games, and watched awesome Halloween clips from Youtube that I figured out how to stream to our TV (I'm so proud of myself for learning how to do this!) We decided to give out cotton candy this year for our treats. So Paul and I ran the cotton candy machine in the garage and the trick-or-treaters stopped in for a fun treat out of the rain. The cotton candy was a HUGE hit, but we were unbelieveably sticky!!! I think that is why I carried my camera in my pocket the whole night, and didn't take a single picture (I'm very mad at myself for doing this!) Anyway, we had a crazy fun Halloween and still made it to church the next day! (Thank heavens for the 1:00 schedule.)
