Halloween 2008

Happy Halloween!

We went to a Halloween party at some friends of ours for Halloween night and then hit the streets in their neighborhood for some good old Trick-or-Treating. This year my creative juices weren't flowing and I lacked the energy to even BE creative this Halloween so Aubrey decided she would just be a soccer player. Easy. We had the costume! And Jocelyn was a giraffe. Easy. Bought it for 10 bucks at Costco. We all got a kick out of her little chubby costume. Every time she walked, her padded bottom would jiggle and her tail would swish from side to side. It was cute! The only downside to her giraffe costume was that the hood made it hard for her to see and she complained about the sleeves covering her hands - making it hard for her to hold her trick-or-treat pumpkin. But she was very insistent on holding her own bucket. I offered to hold it for her in between houses and she said "No - I hold it!" So her costume must have not been THAT hard to wear. :) She loved being a giraffe. She had been waiting weeks to wear the thing! We didn't stay out long because it was getting pretty late and cold but they did really good scoring about a fourth of their buckets full of candy. Which isn't bad because they don't eat too many sweets anyways. Can't wait for next year when Andrew will be with us to have fun with this tradition - the dressing up part anyways! Hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween!
