For the first time since Baylie was born, we didn't have a family theme for Halloween because we couldn't convince the kids to dress up along a theme. Jalen wanted to be Iron Man. He was beyond excited to finally get to wear his costume. Baylie wanted to be Carmen from Spy Kids. We tried to convince her to be Black Widow because it would look similar and we could have all been Avengers, but she was adamant that she would be a spy kid. She loved her costume too.
Jalen's costume was easy - we bought it from Wal Mart. We hadn't purchased a costume since Baylie's when she was seven months old.
I am not very crafty or handy with a sewing machine, so I was quite proud of Baylie's gadget belt. I think the main reason she wanted to be a spy was to have gadgets. (Belt from Goodwill, elastic from Wal Mart to make gadget holders, gadgets from Dollar Tree.)
I also found a template for a Spy Kid badge online.
David and I didn't dress up, but we did wear matching t-shirts that I got on clearance at Michael's. (Excuse my hair, I had just been swimming.)
We went to our ward's trunk or treat where the kids dined on hot dogs, chips, pop corn and ice cream.
Candy massacre.
The highlight of the evening for Jalen was discovering that he has his first loose tooth. He can't stop talking about it. He's already planning how to spend his tooth fairy money.
One of our pumpkins didn't quite make it to Halloween.
We only had a few trick or treaters. Jalen would run and meet them half way down the sidewalk yelling "Trick or Treat!" He and Baylie were both very excited to have trick or treaters.
It was a great Halloween.
