Costumes

I have been a bit of a Halloween scrooge this year- it's not my favorite holiday, but I just wasn't feeling it this year. I didn't even put out all my decorations. We did manage to get costumes pulled off though. Kayden wanted to be a samari, but I didn't know this until it was too late to get a costume so we made him a zombie. Hailey wanted to be a bat. This girl always has such interesting costume choices and makes me work to put hers together. Carter is repeating his theme from last year and using his football uniform. I didn't mind since I was busy creating bat wings. Brendan picked Sonic. I had to search for that hat and payed way too much for it. He has worn it every second since it arrived though so I guess I am getting my moneys worth. 

Emery must have been feeling the same way I have been because she wasn't going to have anything to do with her costume. NOT. AT. ALL. She screamed just when I showed it to her. It was only a simple cowgirl costume. I wasn't even attempting to put the hat on or anything, just the little skirt and vest. But no way. Not even her boots, even though she wears them all the time.  Oh well, I don't think I will even bother and save it for next year, that way I am already way ahead of the game and have something planned already. 

Brendan and Hailey had a school trunk-r-treat, we went to our ward one on Saturday, and the kids all have had stuff in their classes. We have loads of candy so I think we can call it a holiday. Emery and I would be totally happy with that. Next year will be better, right, since I already have one costume taken care of?!!
