Halloween time!

Time to pull out the costumes!

My kids pretty much always get to pick what they want to be for Halloween and we end up making or buying new costumes for them every year.  Still, we love to pull out all the old ones to play around in all throughout the season.

 Jeff wanted to be Sonic the Hedgehog this year.  I amazed myself by making this hat/mask thingy.

 So this year we had Sonic, Cinderella, Belle, and a dragon.  Jeff's was the only costume I made.

 Rachael was jealous of Jeff's face paint and had to have some too.

 Actually, Lydia and Hailee had to have some too. :)

During the day on Halloween Rachael, Lydia, and I went to see the kids in the school parade.

We also went to see Richard at work...

 Then... apparently that wore the girls out so we took a nap. :)

 We made jack 'o'lanter pizzas for dinner.

This is just a random picture of Lydia at our ward Halloween party.  I guess it's the only one I took there.

And of course we went trick or treating.  This year we offered to buy the kids' whole bucket of candy, minus 10 pieces of their choice, for 10 dollars.  Jeff thought that was a great idea and accepted the offer right away!  Hailee and Rachael weren't sure they wanted to do that.  But then we saw these cute dresses at the store and they were only 10 dollars!  When they realized they could buy them if they gave up their candy they changed their minds.

It was probably our healthiest Halloween ever!
