Costumes

We all dressed up for our ward's trunk or treat. We had a bee, a beekeeper, a bike rider, a Roman princess and Spiderman.. Rusty's costume was a backwards t-shirt and a laundry hamper bag (that I so very kindly washed before we put it over his head.) My costume was electrical tape over a black shirt, 2 yards of puffy fabric tied to a piece of elastic that was safety pinned around my waste, more electric tape over a headband with some pipe cleaners and a borrowed pair of black tights. Kyleigh's costume was built around a silver leaf looking headband we found at Claire's on clearance. She wore a white slip that is in their dress up bin with our popcorn sheet draped around her and safety pinned. It looked really fancy draped behind her, especially for a sheet. We did two headband braids going opposite ways with the actual headband in the middle. She also got to wear makeup, which she was pretty excited about. Katelyn wanted to be a bikerider, so we put her gear on and away she went. We brought her bike to the church for the costume parade and she marched around the gym with her bike at her side. Ridge was easy enough. We just grabbed a costume from the dress up bin and he was as happy as a clam. I love the picture of him below. It looks like he is running so fast his arms are blurred. Hats off to trunk or treat. It's like a warm-up sugar high that increases everyone's sugar tolerance for the big show.
