Halloween

This year Emily was determined to be Hello Kitty. This is what I found:

You can imagine that I wasn't too excited about spending $30 on this.  At the Hello Kitty Store, I asked if there were costumes, and they said that Sanrio doesn't make one.  Odd, since they make everything else under the sun.  So I googled Hello Kitty Costumes and found ONE picture of a costume someone had made.  The outfit wasn't very cute, but she made a giant hello kitty head that gave me an idea of how to make a decent costume.

So after months pondering it, and one day hard labor, this is what Emily looked like going to school last Friday:

I got lucky for Aaron's costume.  At the last minute, I went into Children's Orchard and found the perfect costume for $4.00.  A cute little bat:

This year, as Halloween landed on a Sunday, we had Trunk or Treat at church.  We were a trunk and bought dry ice to put in the back.  It didn't really work out very well, and died really quickly, but we had some fun with it in the kitchen sink:

Brian and I went to a party this year.  I think the last time we went to a halloween party was before we even were dating.  It was fun.  Brian agreed to wear an In N Out guy costume, and I went as a fortune teller:

After Trunk or Treat, I got this cute shot of the kids:
