Our first practice run for Halloween 2011 was trunk or treating at the church. Halloween traditions have changed since I was a kid and as a result, I have never been trunk or treating. It turned out to be a fun time. Different cars parked in the church parking lot and decorated the trunks of their cars. Instead of going door to door, the kids went car to car. Owners of the cars dressed up, some had games to play, and of course, there was candy to pass out. It was cute for little ones.
Cole was a little lion for Halloween. He was the cutest little lion ever. At first he was okay with getting dressed up. Then the hat went on and it was a whole different story. Cole went from eh, to horrible, to worst thing ever, just as fast as I could snap pictures.
Case has been watching some Halloween specials on tv and decided he wanted to be a ghost for Halloween. The end result was a plain old sheet with a hole cut out for his head. I threw some cheese cloth over the top for some added dimension and we painted his face white. I’m a little ashamed of the final outfit, but hey, how do you make a nice ghost costume? The evening weather was a bit cool so jackets, hats and gloves were necessary for our trunk or treating adventure. Here is our little ghost. Case would tell people, “I’m a ghost. Ooooooo ” (insert scary ghost noise with little hand gestures here).
Some nice woman offered to take our picture as a family. Such a simple sweet gesture, especially since it is rare for all of us to be in the same shot together.
The big trick or treating event at the mall is on Monday but I think Case was able to adequately practice and will be up on his game and ready to go for the real day.
