Trunk or Treat

Last Saturday was our ward's trunk-or-treat. Lizzie and Lainey picked their own costumes. Liz went as a witch. Alaina was the tooth fairy.Makeup-wise Liz requested black all around her eyes and "fire red" lipstick.Alaina wore last-year's fairy costume. To accomodate her desire to be the tooth fairy, I made a few teeth out of felt and bean bag pillow filling.

Ellie was a dragon and Drew was the dragon keeper. Andrew had a pooper scooper, poop bags, and hot mitts for his fire-breathing baby. I was Medusa. I tried to talk Liz into a Medusa costume, but she was set on being a witch. So, I just made a Medusa hat/hair for myself.After dinner the girls enjoyed some games (and prizes).They also participated in the costume parade.Ellie did not participate. She laid on the floor and threw a fit.She did the same thing outside when it was time to trunk-or-treat.Ellie just had a really hard time with the candy going in her basket instead of her hand.So, after visiting a few cars I left Gabrielle to pass out treats at the van with Daddy.At home, Alaina was surprised to find her candy bucket empty. She had worn it as a hat on the way home so not-surprisingly I found her candy in her carset.Ellie enjoyed "scaring" Liz (and Liz was a very good sport).She's saying "Boo!"We let the kids gobble up their Halloween candy as soon as we got home. Ellie's pile was gone pretty quick (she didn't have much because she went to only a few cars). So Ellie attacked Lizzie and tried to take her candy.
