This year for Halloween I wanted to make the kids match somehow. So we went to the store in search of costumes. Kolby saw the Spiderman and wanted to be him immediately so we looked around a bit longer and we found a Spidergirl costume, complete with sparkles! Hailey thought it was cool and we were good to go.
Halloween fell on a Sunday this year so we had a Trunk or Treat from 3-5 at church. The kids woke up from their nap and got all dressed up. We sprayed Hailey's hair with a blue strip and painted her eye mask on. Drove over to the church where the parking lot was full of decorated trunks. Some had little tasks to do in order to get your candy and others had things that would reach out and grab your hand. They both rode the train and the ponies (Kolby likes these ponies because they have a seatbelt).
We went home and ate dinner then went back out to go around the neighborhood. This year was fun because they understood what to do and we didn't have to walk all the way to the door with them. Hailey would knock with her hand and at the same time she would say "knock knock you home?" when people would come to the door they would say "tick or teat". Many people had told Hailey how pretty she looked all dressed up that when someone didn't say some thing she asked "Am I cute?".
As we were coming to a close on the houses in the neighborhood there was one house the kids had noticed being decorated with a white sheeted creature and a red sheeted creature (not entirely sure what they were called, I think Kolby called them monsters), earlier that day they had noticed the creatures had been removed, so as we approached the house that night the creatures were sitting in chairs on the front lawn. The sidewalk was lined with jack-o-lantern's. Kolby and Hailey walked up to the white creature as the bowl of candy was on it's lap. The creature wispered "Happy Halloween" in a very nonscary voice. Both kids turned screaming and ran back to where Gigi and I stood. We walked back up and the guy had taken off his mask and told Kolby he was really sorry and he didn't mean to scare him, and he was just having fun. Kolby had been scared enough he cried a little.
Gigi and I had a hard time not laughing hystarically as it was really funny but bless his heart he was terrified.
