Our couple of Halloweens

This year for Halloween we had a sweet little Care Bear! Brynn wore my old costume from when I was three. Ya know, back in '87 when the Care Bears were still popular. And for our third strait Halloween we had a little chick! He hated his costume though. Interesting how even a six-month-old can glare you down.Here we are at our ward Trunk-Or-Treat on Friday night. Marty was a Gaucho (a Brazilian cowboy) and I put on a big white sheet and went as a....
...Mattress.


And here is Brynn enjoying some Halloween candy.


So here is the story of Brynn's second Halloween costume. At the trunk-or-treat she saw a whole bunch of Cinderella's and was in complete awe. She wouldn't leave them alone. Well, a few weeks ago our neighbors had a garage sale with a gazillion Halloween costumes they had gotten from their Uncle's costume store that had gone out of business. We bought her a Cinderella, Rose, Snow White, and Belle costume for three dollars each that we were planning to give her for Christmas. If you know Brynn at all, you know how OBSESSED she is with the princesses.
So for the actual Halloween she was Cinderella! I wish I could have filmed all of her getting ready and seeing the costume for the first time. She kept running away with only one shoe on and saying, "Princess Cinderella Brynn got married in the temple!" Then she would run up to Daddy and say, "Dance So This is Love?" And they would dance. It was so much fun!









Trying to keep brother happy for the camera.

Trick-or-treating was so much fun. Somehow Brynn got a little mixed up and she would say "Trick-or-treat-treat!" Then when I tried to correct her, Marty told me not to because it sounded so cute. Holidays are so much fun with little kids!
Here she is eating her candy and watching Cinderella on Marty's laptop (while he watched a thousand different sports games on the TV!).

Brynn is such a fancy Cinderella, definitely the prettiest one I saw this year. Bryce's glare is pretty sweet, Blake was NOT impressed with his costume either. Funny how we say that halloween is for the kids but it's actually torture for them at that young age so clearly it's actually for us.
And I'm really glad that princess Cinderella Brynn got married in the temple. I had no idea Cinderella was so righteous.

Oh! one more thing, I forgot to say HA. HA. HA. about your mattress costume...how'd you think of that one, weirdo?
And also, it's your turn to come to my house. Don't let me forget I still have 2 pairs of your maternity pants. Guess I was hoarding them. Okay, they never actually fit me, my legs are huger than yours.
