Trunk Or Treat!

On Sunday we went to our churches Trunk or Treat and Harvest Party. The kids had been looking forward to it for weeks. 

About a month ago I started planning the kids costumes. Jack wanted to be Fix-It Felix Jr so I thought it would be fun to have a whole Wreck-It Ralph theme. The only problem was Owen didn't want to be anything but the same pirate that he was last year. I had a lot of fun making the kids outfits....another post is coming on that! 

Here we have Wreck-It Ralph, Vanellope Von Schweetz, Fix-It Felix Jr and a Pirate! 

Last year I tried to get Owen to let me put make-up on him so he'd look like he had a beard. He wanted NOTHING to do with it. This year though he was all for it. His missing tooth just added to the whole pirate look! 

Fix-It Felix and his Golden Hammer! 

Beautiful Girl! 

At first I wanted Owen to be Wreck-It Ralph since he's the biggest, but I knew it would be impossible to find brown overalls in his size. 

At Trunk or Treat there were lots of cars for the kids to visit and get candy. 

Some of them just handed out candy and some of them had games for the kids to play. 

All the themes were so cute! Next year we are going to participate by decorating our van. 

The kids also got to enjoy cotton candy and popcorn! Inside the sanctuary there were tons of carnival games for the kids to play and win either candy or little prizes. There was also a photo op, cookie walk and face painting. 

Jack fittingly chose a hammer to go with costume! 

Ella was very clear that she wanted a purple butterfly. Miss Jan did one better and did her whole face as a butterfly. 

Miss Jan was amazed that Ella sat still long enough for her to paint it, but this was something that Ella actually enjoyed. She's not much for all the games....this is right up her alley! 

The boys waiting for Ella to get all beautified! 

After we had enjoyed all the festivities it was time for a bite to eat. The church had corndogs and pizza for a dollar. 

They were almost out of pizza by the time we got there, but thankfully we were able to get one piece. 

Zeke was so funny...he ate all the corn on the corn dog, but none of the dog! 

After eating we headed home where the kids got to check out their bounty and eat a few pieces of candy. It was a nice dry run for Halloween!
