Halloween Night

Here are the kids dressed up to go Trick or Treating. They went with a couple of their Cousins this year. Brittany was dressed up as a Punk Rock Princess in an outfit I made. All but the tights, because we wanted something original this year. (She got lots of compliments on the pretty colors by the way). Jared was a Marine in real cammies we purchased from base. He just loves dressing like his Dad and it made him feel like GI Joe. Maddie has a onesie that looks like the digital cammies so I thought it would be cute if she was dressed up like a baby Marine for a picture. She didn't leave the house like that though. She went as a pink leopard. I choose this outfit because of the pretty colors and it was really warm. It was a cold night to be out in. About 50 degree's and sprinkling rain. So I bundled the baby up as best as I could. The older ones would not wear a jacket to save their life. Even after all my demands to put one on, they would not because it would cover up their costume. We stayed out for about an hour and a half before returning home to dump their bags. The offical trading of the candy began and they made out pretty well. Brittany got a package of Top Ramin noodles from a house that she stopped at. It happened to be her music teacher from school that was giving the older kids, (middle schoolers as she said) funny food rather then candy. I guess to be funny or to tell them they are too old to be trick or treating. Brittany was suppose to just go out walking with us, but then started running up to the doors when she saw other kids her age doing it as well. Maybe this will be her last year to get the candy. I don't know if she'll have the nerve to do it in high school. I think she'll start getting dirty looks from the neighbors. LOL Anyhow, it was a fun night. We saw a lot of great costumes. It makes me want to get a jump start on next years. I have more tutu's to make and things to sew.
