Figuring out costumes for the kids this year was really a breeze. I was so surprised. I only had to buy a couple of items to make them work. We had them ready pretty early too so they were able to wear them four times to different parties and functions. It was great.
This year we had:
Clark Kent
Aidan has been watching a tv show with me called White Collar. He really wanted to be the main character in this show, Neal Caffery
The guy wears a suit and a fedora hat all the time. Aidan had it all planned. He would wear his suit, we could buy him a fedora hat, (yes, I have taught him some fashion terms) and then we could make him a security ankle bracelet like the guy has in the show. He was really excited but I told Aidan that no one would know who he was so we needed a new idea. I saw on Pinterest a cute boy dressed up like Clark Kent and thought we could go with this idea. Well, while looking up pictures of Clark Kent to see what type of glasses he wore, I found that he too wore a fedora hat all the time. I knew this would convince Aidan to be Clark because he has been eyeing a hat at Target for months now. So off to Target we went.
Lacey wanted to be a black cat because her best friend, Allie was going to be a cat.
Our Angel
Cassidy decided to be an angel when I pulled out our costume box and she found this tulle skirt and white butterfly wings. She was smitten with the idea from that moment. I did get her a halo and some "real" angel wings instead of butterfly wings. I loved her in this and she loved the makeup and glitter.
And miss Brynlee was a pumpkin. Since she was less than 2 months not much fit her but we found this cute tulle skirt that had pumpkins on it and I had the big green flower.

At the trunk or treat
Aidan and George
My costume? A post partum mom suffering from sleep deprivation. I'm convincing huh?
Trick or treating:
The whole gang
The whole Gremmert Gang
Cassidy and her best friend
We go to the same neighborhood every year. It isn't our neighborhood but it is relatively close. The houses are really close together and tons of people participate. They are very festive with their decorations too. The kids had a great time trick or treating. Cassidy finally got the concept this year. She was so gracious too, she said Thank you every time. Usually it is the boys running door to door but this year the girls were the ambitious ones. The weather was just cool enough but not freezing! It was a great Halloween season!
Oh and here is my one Ghoulish treat I made
