Halloween

Halloween wasn't quite we expected this year due to the snowstorm. With no power in town, Halloween was canceled. We did get to go to our playgroup Halloween party as well as the ward trunk or treat before the storm hit. Ethan did get to go trick or treating to a few houses with his cousins at my grandparent's house.  It was cold so Lillie and I stayed back, she didn't know what she was missing.  We still had plenty of candy-2 bags of kitkats I had planned on handing out. I'm glad the kids still don't completely understand that Halloween is all about candy, I got to eat those two bags myself :)

Here are a few pictures, I had planned on getting better pictures before going trick or treating.

 Here we are at the trunk or treat.  Ethan was a bumble bee, Lillie a ladybug and Ryan and I were supposed to be bug catchers.  Who knew it would be impossible to find butterfly nets in the fall?
They had several games for the kids to play.  Ethan didn't quite understand that he couldn't use his hands to get his donut.
 2nd time he got the idea, good thing we didn't have to try a third donut!
Lillie loved kicking around the balloons. 

 Lillie's costume was easy to make and since she has so much hair, I didn't have to bother with antennae.
Ethan's costume took a much longer-I really need to learn how to use my sewing machine!
