Halloween/Trunk or Treat

 We had our ward Trunk or Treat/Halloween carnival last night. Everyone did a fantastic job setting it all up! The last time I dressed up in a costume was way back in high school, and every year josh and the kids try and talk me into it but I would never! Well this year I caved and decided might as well and after doing it I realized that it is SO much fun, I think I will have to do it next year too :) I was batgirl and Daniel, well he is 13 now, so he wants to think of unique costumes, and since we love sports and had an awesome Afro wig I got for 2 bucks at my favorite store Gabriel Brothers,  we decided on the old basketball player Dr. J Erving

 Josh kept it simple, he was just going to wear the wig, but I borrowed my Dads Cavs jersey and told him he can go as the Cavs player Anderson Verejao, I thought it was fitting since Anderson is our last name :)

 We doctored up a costume of Wades from last year and Miss Delaney went as Supergirl, but boy was she SUPER cranky!! The activity was totally past her bedtime!
 Justin went as a Robot and he just LOVED his costume, both boys had SO much fun at the activity
 Wade went as Clifford the Big Red Dog, Wade can't stand anything on his head and originally Cliffords face was on a hat to go on his head, well I cut that face off and hand sewed it to the front of his costume, it worked good enough
 My Natilie went as Cleopatra and thats not a wig, its two cans of black temp hair color that is more like hair spray and left her hair SUPER stiff, she actually has 2 costumes now, this one and an Avatar that pictures is the last picture of this post

My friend Emma and I goofin around

This is Daniel and Natilie before they left for school on their Halloween party day. Natilie was SUPER excited to wear this costume. She had earned 20 bucks from my dad with doing some work around his house and she LOVES Halloween like the rest of us and really wanted to go to an actual Halloween store to buy another costume to wear to school, we spent 2 hours at 2 Halloween stores, both places were absolutely insane and I had Delaney with me screaming her head off because she was tired and there was no carts, but the costume Natilie did want, was all out and then she saw this one someone had put back and just decided to try it on and she LOVED it and the sweet part about it is that it was regular 49.99 and she got it for 15 buckaroos :)
