Halloween

We made it through Halloween.  Hayden created her own costume(with Ben's help) and was a hobo.  She wore a pair of Ben's old blue jeans, an old white under shirt, rope belt, 2 different colored crocks and a toboggan.  She explained to me exactly how to draw on a beard and make "dirty" spots on her face.  She did a great job and looked really good.  Ally was Wonder Woman.  Her makeup was probably a little too heavy in blue, but she loved it.  She can pretty much make herself into whatever character she wants.  The boys were supposed to be "the man in the yellow hat" that takes care of Curious George.  They didn't care for the hats and really, the hats were too small for their big Goode heads.  Caleb wore his just long enough for a picture.  They carried 2 George's for a while and then I carried them and the hats.  We went up to church for a Trunk-r-Treat.  The girls got a lot of comments on their costumes and most people had no clue who the boys were but thought they were cute.  We left church with enough candy to feed the starving children in Africa, but because I can't stop when it comes to activities and the kids, we went to Mom's neighborhood for another Trunk-r-Treat.  By this time, the boys have each eaten 4 lollipops and the girls . . . who knows what was going on back there.  I'll figure it out tomorrow when I clean out the car and come across all the wrappers!!  We picked up Nina and went to her neighborhood church.  After coming close to being run over by a grouchy old man, we made our way through the trunks.  We let the kids try to blow up slide, but after one trip down we decided their were too many unruly kids on it and left.  We are home and the kids are asleep.  Time for me to check out the loot!!  Too bad for you Ben, the good stuff will be gone by tomorrow.
