Halloween

Halloween happened. Not much to say about it except that I felt like I had to dress my kids up multiple times for so many different Halloween events. What's up with that? What happened to just dressing up on Halloween night. Anyway, the kids had a blast and Ruby was so hilarious to watch. She couldn't believe that we would let her walk around with a bucket of candy. She got a dum-dum sucker from next door and had opened it and finished it by the time we made it back to our driveway. That was pretty much how it went for the rest of the night. At our ward party I found her more than once at the sucker tree game where all she had to do was pull a sucker off of the tree and it was hers. I dare say that she has a favorite holiday now.

Ruby was a last minute flower. She was going to be a ballerina, but the weather was cooler than anticipated. Thankfully she is still young enough to not care.


Lyda decided a while ago that she wanted to be Snow White because of her short hair. I thought that was great because we already had the dress.


Kode always has to pick something a little bit different each year. Something that not everybody will recognize. This year it was Astro Boy (not my favorite movie). He originally wanted to be Rusty the boy robot, but I sort of discouraged that because other than us, nobody would know who he was. Regardless what he chooses, I always find myself trying to throw together a costume. Fortunately Astro Boy didn't take much work.

One thing that I learned from this Halloween, is that in the future if I need to choose between spraying a whole head with black hair spray or buying a wig, I will go with the wig. That stuff is so messy.
