Halloween

10/30/2017

 
For over a month the girls came home almost everyday asking about our plans for Halloween costumes.  The reality was I wasn't feeling Halloween like I normally do and didn't want to think about putting together costumes. With only a short time before Halloween, we headed to Zeezos, which is the BEST Halloween store in downtown Colorado Springs, and found the cutest flapper dresses and beads for the girls.  Since all the adult flapper dresses at Zeezos were sleeveless, I spent a great deal of time on Amazon trying to find something that would work for me.  I also found a cute romper that would work for Madeline.  Since I was unable to find headpieces that went with the girl's dresses, I gathered some supplies from Hobby Lobby and made headbands for the girls.  I wished the boys had agreed to dress up in our 20s theme but I know the days of them dressing up are coming to an end.  They did agree to dress up though.  Peter dressed up as a Ringwraith from Lord of the Rings and Andrew dressed up as Todd Chavez from the BoJack Horsemen show.  It was a scramble to get everyone ready on the night of our Trunk or Treat with Mike working until the very last minute and me trying to recover from an EGD I had earlier in the day.  It was pretty cold when we headed across the street to our usual scary spot in front of the horse farm.  It's sad to think that this is our last year to take pictures in this spot since there will be homes there next year and most of the trees will be gone.  

After our little photo shoot we headed to the Trunk or Treat at the church building.  Abby brought her good friend Anna and met up with her other buddies.  Emma had so much fun hanging out with all her friends from both the Cordera and Pine Creek ward.  Everyone thought Madeline was just SO CUTE.  She really did steal the show with her cute 20's romper, headband, and pearls.  Everyone had a great time, even Abby who came out of the haunted house crying because she got so scared.  

Halloween day was pretty exciting.  Madeline started walking and spent most of the day trying to become more confident in walking by herself.  That night everyone seemed to go in different directions.  Peter went with Josh and Emma met up with her friends at the Seaquist's home and went trick or treating in the Pine Creek neighborhoods.  Abby stayed behind and went trick or treating in our neighborhood with Noelle and Natalie.  Andrew graciously stayed behind for an hour to watch Madeline while I walked with Emma and her friends.  Then Andrew took off to a party at his friend Brady's house.  It was a night filled with lots of fun with friends and way too much candy.
