Halloween

Ghost and Witch

Snow White and Sleeping Beauty

C3PO and R2D2

With a busy week of worrying about Kylee's baptism Halloween kind of snuck up on us. The week of Halloween we had not decorated the house yet and we did not know what everyone was going to dress up as. I like doing a family theme, but with limited time I didn't think that was going to work out. The only person that was decided early was Julia as a princess. She has a lot of practice since she wears 5 different princess dresses a day. Brayden said that he wanted to be R2D2. I didn't think that I would be able to find a costume for it so I was trying to convince him otherwise. I found a lego costume on family fun that looked easy to make. I talked to him about doing that and he told me, "Why can't you let me be R2D2? I already told all my friends that I was going to be R2D2." So I decided to see what we could do. I found an example of homemade R2D2 costumes and decided that Matt could probably do it. Kylee decided to be a witch and we wanted to have Blake do something related to Brayden, so C3PO it would be. With a long week at work, Matt was left with Thursday night to get the costumes ready. (He is our local costume and cake maker.) Matt was spray painting gold and drawing on poster board until 1 a.m. I think that he did a great job. Blake was only in his costume briefly because the gold paint on the sleeper was rubbing off on whatever it touched. We spent the night eating chili at Aunt Katrina and Uncle Joey's house and then trick or treating in their neighborhood.
