Our Halloween 2010!

For Halloween Paetin insisted on being Cinderella! My mom helped make the skirt for her dress && my sister-in-law, Janel, found a top for .50 cents at a garage sale.. so what do we make Cameryn?? A mouse! We started searching for costumes and found an adorable idea online! I wasn't about to pay $45.oo for something that I could make, so of course I copied it!

The girls and I went to a Trunk or Treat Halloween party with my brother's family at his church on Friday October 29! Paetin was soo excited to dress up! They were absolutely darling! My nephews' costumes matched as well! Nathan was the mischevious Peter Pan && Tyler was Captain Hook! We were going to make Andrew a crocodile but we kinda dropped the ball and making that one work out..but he was cute none the less!
Part way through the party we saw Nathan and noticed that Paetin was no longer with him. We started searching for her not worried since there we TONS of kids running around..but then we can't see her anywhere.. so we start to ask people to keep their eyes open.. There was another ward having a Halloween Party at the building so we decided go to search their group.. well.. my little social butterfly was sitting with a group of hispanic children laughing it up with them all not understanding a word they were saying! I'm so glad she was having a great time, but even more relieved that she was okay!
On Halloween my brother's family came over to my neighborhood for trick or treating! Since the boys had completely covered their original costumes in chili, Janel improvised with some she had stashed in her closet! Tyler became the cutest dragon who's tail wagged as he walked, and Nathan was a very stubborn chicken! We didn't bother dressing up the babies since we were carrying them in our wraps. (=

The kids had so much fun going door to door && people were EXTREMELY considerate when the kids (mostly Paetin) got scared and would remove their masks or not jump out like usual. Part way through our trip around the loop we noticed a small black cat that the kids were petting.. then we noticed that it had been following us around from house to house.. after a while it would sneak up towards the doors while the kids walked up and would try to dart inside! Let's just say he got into one so we started to warn people a cat was trying to find a home.. one man did NOT believe us && was VERY surprised when a little cat darted into his house!! Man Danny and I were laughing so hard I thought I was going to pee my pants! We got waaay more candy than any 2-4 year old needs, but we all had a good time!! Happy Halloween!! (=
