Happy Halloween!!!

Love, love, love Halloween! We were sad that Ryan was out of town for all the festivities, but we still had a great time.
I love any excuse to dress up, and any excuse to bust out the glue gun and make some costumes. This year, we were featuring Thomas the Train, and a Witch (Annie couldn't decide between nice and mean, that's why she is kind of a smattering of both.)

Annie's favorite part of the costume was her orange hair. It was also Logan's favorite part, so he got a little spray of orange on his head too. He also insisted on having some make-up on his face, that's why he's a grubby little engineer.
We went to the ward Trunk-or-Treat, then back home to hit a few homes on our street. I made the mistake of leaving our bowl of candy on the porch, since nobody was home to pass it out. Sure enough, it was completely empty when we got back (even though we only hit a few homes and never even left our street.) Little hoodlums...
I ended up stealing candy from Annie and Logan's buckets to tide over the next few trick-or-treaters--although it hardly put a dent in the stash, and I didn't give away anything really good.
At the end of the night, the kids chose Toy Story 2 as the perfect end to a spooky Halloween.
Now to raid the treats for Reese's and Almond Joys...
