Halloween and the great costume event

The day has finally arrived for the kids to show off their costumes. I made the crazy decision to make their costumes this year. It took me 2 months and most of that was Abby's dress. I liked how Tori's turned out a little better, and I free lanced that one. Tori was a mermaid and Abby a butterfly.


One Wednesday of this week I put both of them in their costumes and headed out to drop Abby off. But when we got to school NO ONE had a custom on, so we quickly did a change in the car and off she went.


Tori had her party today at school and was happy to wear her costume all day.


Tori had her party first and then I met her to take her trick or treating at the building. Here she is with her sash over her head with her friend Addi.

It took over 1 1/2 to get this far, the kids were ready to be done! They did great and listened so well. There were 19 kids in total and we didn't lose one :)

After this I took Tori back with me to work for a few minutes before heading home tonight.

Friday night we had our trick or treating at the church. This is the only time they stopped moving all night. Chris was going with them and at one point they ran by me as I was handing out candy and said, "that old man, can't even keep up with us." By the way, Abby does have black hair, nice, hu?
The kids had fun and all the work paid off, they loved their outfits! Did I mention that Abby had to have colored hair, hence the black hair below!
