Halloween in December

Halloween should be in August. That way we can all wear bathing suits and pretend they are our costumes. And then I could possibly get the pictures posted before Christmas time. But hey, we've got 20 days till Christmas, as my countdown calendar reminds me, so I'm doing good.

The girls wanted to be princesses for Halloween. So I used up all my creativity for the months of October and November in making some wigs. I love the Family Fun magazine, which is where I got the idea. Hannah and Kenzie were ecstatic about their long beautiful hair. I was going to cut the wigs shorter but they were so excited about the length ("Mom, I am Ariel Rapunzel!"), I just kept them long. I should have made Ellie a wig too. I'm sure she would have loved to eat it.

We had a great time trick-or-treating at our ward Halloween parade on Friday night then we went trick-or-treating to our favorite Grandmas and Grandpas on Saturday and went to an awesome party at Cris and Matt's.

The kids had a great time, ate lots of candy and stayed up way too late. Mike and I did the same thing, just without the fabulous wigs. Next year honey. Next year.
