halloween

Gavin has been telling me for months that he wants to be a ghost. He’s even been practicing the sound they make.

Saedi decided last Halloween, when she got fangs as a prize from her teacher, that she wanted to be a vampire for this Halloween. Since she was going to be something scary Gavin wanted to follow suit, so ghost it is. 

We got Saedi’s costume from the Halloween Store at the mall and Gavin’s would be super easy so I put it off to do after we got back from our trip. That didn’t leave me much time but it was only white fabric with eye holes in it. I ended up getting to the fabric store this morning and I spent naptime making his costume so it would be done for tonight.

We didn’t get costumes for Solvei and Nels but the ones from last year still fit (just barely).

So Saedi and Gavin went out trick-or-treating with Nate,

while Solvei and Nels helped me give out candy.

We ran out of candy pretty early, but it worked out okay because it made no pressure to get the kids to bed on time. All in all a pretty good holiday.
