Mermaid, Pirate, Dinosaur (Trunk or Treat)
The Girls 
Me as a boxerI didn't get many pictures from Halloween this year. I don't know what happened! But we still had a good time.
The Saturday before Halloween I took the kids and Angelina to the church Trunk or Treat. Emma decided to wear the mermaid costume that Aunt Rachel mailed to us. Grandma Jett had it made it a few years ago for Natalie. It was a little snug on Emma but she was EXTREMELY determined to wear it, so I let her. Matthew didn't want to be anything other than a dinosaur so we used the same costume I made him last year. We added a dinosaur head that we got at the dollar store to make it even better. Only problem was that when he put the hoodie on, it covered the dinosaur's eyes. SO, I thought it would be a good idea to put eyeballs on top of the hoodie. BIG mistake because it made Matthew look like a frog or alligator. But oh well, he still had a good time roaring like a dinosaur. My costume was a boxer - I had a black eye and all!

The Trunk or Treat was great as always. The kids favorite was the homemade donuts and rootbeer that the Snyder's made. They had dry ice with the rootbear so it made it look like a witchy potion!! Pretty cool.
On Halloween night we continued the tradition of going to my brother's neighborhood. The kids enjoyed it and the weather was perfect. Emma wore the princess costume she got for her Ballet Recital earlir in the year. It fit better than the mermaid costume and was easier for her to walk around in .Ben helped them move along to all the houses so it moved pretty fast. We have more candy than we will ever eat and will most likely be giving some away. Another fun family holiday! Can't wait for more to come.
