Halloween 2014

October 29th:  Trunk of Treat

All ready to go!  Ariel Elena, Ninja Kevin, and Super Why Jonah.

There were so many kids at the church!  They did a costume parade around the picnic shelter.  It was nice to see all the different costumes.

 I was so excited to run into my friend Bri at the church that night!  She was a clown and I was a "smartie pants" (if you look closely, you can see the candies stuck to my jeans).  I had so much fun catching up with her for a few minutes. I love this girl!

 

Bri came with her daughter Aria.  She's such a cutie.

 

Dan drove straight over from work and was able to take the kids from car to car so that I could hand out the candy.  We had a fun night.

October 31st:  Halloween
I was so happy to attend Kevin's Halloween party in his classroom.  His teacher doesn't want/need any volunteers this year and it's enough to break this former kindergarten teacher's heart.  The Halloween party was the first time I'd set foot in his class since his open house.  It was wonderful to see him sitting in his little chair, looking all cute and grown up with his friends.  As part of the fiesta, they made these cute spider snacks with Oreos and pretzels.

Kevin's friend Jeremiah (left) is also our neighbor which is awesome.  They play together at the bus stop everyday and get along great in and out of school. 

He ate a purple cupcake and like all children who eat colorful treats, he wanted a picture of his tongue.

Here are the 3 cutest kids in the world right before trick or treating.  Jonah is wearing the same Super Why costume that Kevin wore when he was 2.  Luckily for me, he adores Super Why and was very excited about the costume.  Elena's doll is wearing an Ariel dress that Granny made.  Kevin is wearing his dinosaur costume for the 3rd year in a row (the best $5 I ever spent apparently - it was on sale at Target November 2011).  Man, those are some awesome and fun kids.

First house!  Bethany made this Renaissance dress herself.

Success!  Lollipops are Jonah Boy's favorite kind of treat.  Apparently, one just isn't enough on Halloween night.
