Trunk or Treating

The Friday before Halloween we attended a trunk or treat at the church. Our kids knew it was their chance to haul in some candy, as they had decided to not trick or treat this year on Sunday. This pathetic mom never gave a thought to costumes for the kids, as it wasn't a "typical" Halloween. Just before we left, Aubrey put together a baton twirler costume. Recently she found my old baton, and she has been learning to twirl it like a pro! Aubrey's friend Emily joined us.


Luckily, Joseph has an entire wardrobe of Superhero costumes to draw upon, and he chose Ironman for this particular occasion.  He had to show me how superheroes shoe their superpowers.  Oh, what will we do when Joseph outgrows this superhero stage?  Life won't be nearly as fun!





This is Bailey's "mean football player" look.  Menacing, eh?  Bailey is the only one of our kids who was able to wear a costume to school.  Her school did a "Run for the Arts" fundraiser, and the kids were able to wear a costume as they ran around the school track.
 Bailey helped Joseph trick or treat around the parking lot. The kids got a decent amount of candy, but then Dan (who was handing out candy by his car) ran out of candy (and we had brought a LOT of candy), so he talked Aubrey and Bailey into letting him give away their candy!  After the trunk or treat we helped with a Halloween party for 25 or so screaming, sugar-hyped kids.
