Good Grief, Enough of Halloween Already!


Sorry, gotta finish up Halloween so I can get onto Em's birthday (um, key words here: hives, 17 girls, and Benedryl).  On Halloween we had a little get together with a couple families at a friend's house for dinner.  Afterwards we all went to the ward's trunk or treat.  Unfortunately, Dave had a work emergency and missed the dinner and showed up at the church right before it started.  The man showed up with this hat with this grotesque hair attached to it.  And it's not just any hair, it looks like the man bleached out his hair and then let it grow out.  Honestly, from far away, it looked like I brought some weirdo off the streets trunk or treating with me.  He wore it the Halloween I was pregnant with Emma, we looked like such the white trash couple! Ok, enough about the hair...
Emma and Claire ran off with their little buddies and as Dave and I were walking around with Hallie, many of our friends said the girls had all made it around a few times already! The stinkers! It was a blast though, and the kids loved my parent's truck all decorated with cobwebs.  After the trunk or treat, we went trick or treating in a friend's gigantic neighborhood (because apparently we didn't have enough candy yet).  The kid's buckets were so overflowing that at the end each step they took candy would fall out.  It was a lot of fun though and the weather cooperated!

Arghhhh...the ugly hair.  I somehow felt the need to tell everyone it was fake and grotesque - like they needed me to tell them that...

That trunk or treat looked way fun. Our first year here we went to ours but there were only a few cars participating with zero decorations and no adults were in costume. It was lame.. We even dressed up as ketchup and mustard with hotdog and hamburger hats and the back of our car was a food stand. Not worth the effort - so we've skipped our last two ward trunk or treats. Your girls look like they have really cute/good friends - that's nice. =)

The girls looked soooo cute in their costumes! I have to say I am a little sad to have missed all the fun!;( I LOVED Dave's hair, very hot!!

So fun! Totally awesome hat wig...Matt was laughing about it. Matt finds every excuse to wear his - he switches off between two and his costumes always revolve around them. Your girls looked adorable! Yeah for candy!
