That is what Alex said this year! Because he was the treat...ha ha...
I'm pleased to say that his costume made it around the neighborhood longer than he did! The duct tape, hot glue and velcro all stayed together...whew! And...yes...I even wrote the ingredients out on the back...just like the real candy bar...and I don't think I've ever really read what a candy bar is made of...interesting!
And Emily...the Pink Poodle...
{Alex and his favorite candy bar! He even got a couple little ones in his bag trick-or-treating!}
I wish that I had planned ahead for a costume for myself...it would have been the perfect year to dress up as Santa...or Humpty Dumpty...or a big orange pumpkin...oh well...
It's so fun watching the kids run from house to house...I couldn't keep up with them!
...and once Emily caught up with a few of her friends...she ran even faster!
It always seems like I get so much candy every year to hand out...but we always get rid of every single piece...and still have a few people who come to the door when the lights are turned off!
...and the kids get plenty...we don't even hit every single house! We go once around the block, and they enjoy coming back home to pass out the candy that is left...
We saw a few kids who looked a little old for trick-or-treating...but I must admit...it is one of my favorite times of the year...and I hope Alex and Emily {and Elizabeth} are able to enjoy it for a long time too!
I hope you all had a Happy Halloween too!
{Oh...and I love that a lot of the pets in the neighborhood dress up too...this was my favorite...the Mail Man!}
I love the costumes! You all went out early. No one really goes here until dusk. I had a hard time getting good pictures especially once the kids caught up with some friends! I love that you made Alex's costume and that he choose something so unique! You did an awesome job making it!

ReplyDeleteAlex's costume is so much fun! I love that you wrote out all the ingredients! Emily is too cute in all that pink! What are you going to do when your pink doubles in a few weeks:) I had to laugh at you saying his costumes stayed together...I had to reglue Eli's costume and then use duct tape because it kept coming apart!
