Halloween!

Halloween came and we enjoyed it!

This first picture is the pattern I picked up on sale for the kid's costumes. Egan had the black cape with the hood for his Harry Potter Costume. Evelyn begged and begged for the pink thing in the top left. I wanted to make the bottom right.....

So we compromised. Isn't she cute? When people asked her what she was "I'm a Pink Witch!"

I let Egan play with his costume for a few weeks before Halloween, and his glasses didn't really survive it. I gave them each a chopstick for their wands. I crouched Egan's scarf, and actually made myself a Ravenclaw scarf and hat.

Egan casting his spells "Redicorous!"

Evelyn all ready anticipating a full pumpkin.

The kids Got a TON of candy. We separated and checked out each piece, and then refilled the buckets with a piece of each kind (probably half full) and hid the rest for another day. We gave the kids their buckets and let them have at whatever they wanted. Told them they could eat whatever, or save it for later. "You'll get sick if you eat it all right now"

The common theme we heard that night "one more piece." Needless to say, both kids didn't sleep too well, and had "tummy hakes" in the morning. Here is a picture of Evelyn crashed on the couch after her sugar rush the previous night. I'm hoping next year they will remember their "tummy hakes". Only Egan has asked for more "just one piece" of candy since that night. Evelyn wont have anything to do with it. Funny Kids.

Ignore the mommy on the left. No makeup!
