Halloween

Halloween 2017, you came and went in the blink of an eye...

The boys refuse to do family themed costumes now, so we had quite the assortment...Kimball was Indian Jones. I got his hat from Dollar Tree; his pants and sword from a consignment sale; he wore a Sunday shirt; and we made his whip, holster and the clip for his whip out of duct tape. It turned out pretty awesome:

Cameron found his Iron Man costume at a free-cycle our church had. He found a fancier mask at the consignment sale for $1.50! He made a fantastic Iron-Cam!

Lily said she wanted to be a dragon. I was worried that I would never find a dragon costume in her size, but I found one at the consignment sale, and it was even purple (her favorite color)! She was so excited, but when Halloween finally came, refused to wear it. I told her she couldn't go trick-or-treating unless she had her costume on and she finally relented. Cutest little dragon ever...

Becca was a sweet, juicy strawberry.

I dressed up as a gardener, and carried around my huge (20+ pound) strawberry.

Dale was a BYU fan...pretty scary considering how poorly they're doing this year.

Our family won our ward's best "family" costumes at the ward party. There was a hay ride, donut eating contest, bonfire, and a good time with friends. The boys both had Halloween parties at school on the 31st. Dale came home sick that day.

Once everyone was home, the kids dressed up and I took them out while Dale stayed home with Becca to hand out candy. Lily walked the whole way and would exclaim "Oh my goodness! That house has a porch light on" before running up to the next door. Kimball had a slight fever and was freezing, but still insisted on going with us. It was a long night, and the kids came home with quite the candy collection.
