I have been putting off posting about Halloween, I don't know why, just a blogging slump I guess. But, here goes! This year I didn't want to buy any costumes. So, for Ethan, we borrowed a Buzz Lightyear costume. We had to borrow the movie too so that he would know who Buzz Lightyear is. After watching the movie (every day the week before Halloween) he could hardly wait to dress up as Buzz. Avery luckily still fit in her costume from last year. It was 3-6 mo. size costume, but it WAS huge on her last year. It fit nicely this year. She was a ladybug, she wouldn't keep her cute hat on though, it had little antennas on it.
Since it's not very possible to go trick or treating in the neighborhood, due to the fact that houses are really far apart. Almost every business offers "trunk or treating". First we went to ISD -Wal-mart (where Papa works), and we trick or treated amongst the cubicles. The kids caught on right away. Avery knew her candy bucket would be used for something she would like, she carried that thing the whole week before Halloween. She needed NO instruction whatsoever to get going. Ethan was mostly preoccupied with the decorations, but managed to fill his bucket nicely. Next, we went to Unilever and trick or treated, and they also had a costume contest and fed us pizza and cupcakes. THEN, we went to our ward "Trunk or Treat". We had great chili, and cornbread, and the kids got to play some fun games and then parade their costumes across the stage. We were beyond tired by the time we got home. OH, did I mention what Jesse dressed up as...A MOOSE! It was hilarious when he walked into the church in full get-up, how many kids ran up to him to give him hugs. It's not like he was even a well known moose, ya know, like Bullwinkle, NO he was just a moose! But he did look pretty awesome. He got his costume from Unilever. Don't ask why Unilever had like 10 moose costumes??? Anyway, enjoy the pics.

Ethan immediately found his best friend "New" Ethan (ie Ethan Hughes)
These two are kindred spirits! "New" Ethan could even pass as Woody, we didn't plan that either!

Back to Back with his other best friend Ruby Messick!
Avery, being a good sport about being held prisoner in the stroller! There was way too much chaos to let her loose!

I love the Buzz lightyear costume. So cute. Look like fun.
Where did your hubby get the Moose costume? I couldn't figure out who was wearing that costume at the Halloween party.
Cute pictures! What a cute little lady bug and a dashing Buzz Lightyear! Way to go on Jesse dressing up. Kyle always thinks he's too cool to dress up, but next year he promised he'd go as a girl scout and the rest of us will be his cookies!
