Happy Halloween

After two straight weeks of sewing the costumes were finally finished! I think they turned out awesome. The kids were all characters from The Last Airbender movie/cartoon.
Shermie was Sokka.
Tuffer was a Dia Lee Agent.
Matthew was Prince Zuko.
Of course Nic was Aang.(Is it bad we shaved his head and used a Dry-erase marker on it...Naaah)
And Annalyn was Katara. ( I'm Sad she lost her necklace while out trick-or-treating)
Here are the two costumes I helped my sister with also. Ava cupcake with a cherry on top and "Star Wars guy with a shooter". Mande made the robe and we both made the cupcake. It turned out so stinking Cute!We had such a fun Halloween.
Friday the kids dressed up for their parties at school . Shermie was not having a good morning when he found out Nicholas threw his "Sokka boomerang" over the fence where the neighbor's dog ate it. Dad saved the day by making a quick trip to the store for a replacement sword. In the afternoon we went to the school to watch the parade. Saturday we took the kids to the costume contest at the furniture store. They won first place in the family division! The prize was a $50.00 gift certificate for lunch and a photo session with some photographer (not Kelli) so we don't know what we will do with that but it was still cool! Our favorite costume we saw was a Transformer. Very neat! He won first place in his division.
Saturday night we went to the ward party and enjoyed the chili cook off and trunker-treating. I made green pork chili which was so good but it didn't win. Sheman said it was because it was the wrong kind of chili. Whatever. Sunday night the kids went trick or treating with their dad. He said Annalyn was just loving the whole thing! Hey, who doesn't like free candy and tons of attention right! I stayed at home to hand out candy to the myriad of people that come to our neighborhood each year. This year was no exception. Because it was a school night we shut the lights off right at 8:00 and sent the kids to shower and get in bed. It was a full and wonderful weekend for sure. I'm pooped!
