Halloween 2015

Halloween was a fun blur this year! The kids were excited to be soldiers. Wally wanted to be a Roman general. I have no idea, but he seemed pleased with his costume, so that's a win. Will wanted to be a gladiator, so not really a soldier, I guess, and Walker wanted to be a Marine. I have not idea what kind of costume his is supposed to be, but he was thrilled I would buy it. Georgia wanted to be a raccoon, who hold a stuffed raccoon. So she talked me into buying her a stuffed raccoon to go with her costume, and then promptly forgot all about the stuffed animal, and wouldn't carry it.
Lydie was also supposed to be a raccoon. That little girl is giving us a run for our money lately. She is determined and will let us know when she is not pleased. Halloween weekend, she was not feeling it, and would scream about my putting her tail and mask on, even if it was just on her head. Then she played in the garbage while wearing her raccoon dress and got Ranch dressing all over it. I told Del that I was giving up, and took pictures of the older kids without her in them. I just couldn't fight with her that day. So now, sadly, we have no pictures of her in her costume. I remember Georgia being a Halloween poor sport the first few years of life as well. So we may be lucky to get a picture of her next year.

Del and I were Jake and the suspicious wife in a robe from the State Farm commercial.
What are you wearing, "Jake from State Farm?"
"Khakis."
Easy costume. I didn't even have to do my hair or makeup. Or get out of my pajamas.

The battle shot.

Walker, armed and ready to hand out treats. We really didn't end up getting all that many trick or treaters. Under 50 for sure. I bet next year when our neighborhood is all built up, it will be a whole lot busier!
Our first Halloween in Utah was a lot of fun! We were able to go to the Rinquest Halloween party, and the kids had Halloween parades and parties at school. I helped Walker's class make a paper plate ghost craft. It was so much fun to see all the creative costumes at the parade, and even the older boys were able to enjoy parties at school!
Until next year, Halloween!
