During spring break on our way up to Canyon Lake we were watching the Lorax. We got the idea to do the theme of Dr. Seuss at that time. We told the Herreras about it and they were totally on board. We thought of all different options and there was plenty to choose from. We were sad that the Herreras moved away and wouldn't be a part of our extended family theme as we had done in years past.
As Halloween got closer we needed to figure out the characters we were going to be. At first Kylee was not going to be a part of it, but then decided if she could be fox in socks she would do it. That is who Julia was going to be, but she was willing to change and be Cindy Loo Who. For Brayden we tried to order a sweatshirt, but it turned out to be a fluorescent yellow and Brayden didn't like the color. So, the night before Brayden stayed up late (really late) dying a sweatshirt and sweatpants yellow so he could be a sneech. Kylee did a great job at face painting Matt and Asher to be the Grinch and the Lorax. It made their costumes. Several kids at the ward activity were scared of Matt "the bishop" as the Grinch. It is fun to dress up as a family. It does make for a stressful time to get all the costumes together.
