Halloween Practice

We've had lot's of excuses to dress the kids up, even though it's not Halloween yet. Grandma Letty took us to Gardener Village for the festivities. They have about thirty huge witches doing things like fishing, using an outhouse(witchy poo), stirring some brew, playing baseball... We had fun looking for all the witches and seeing all the people dressed up. Today was the Halloween party at Taj's preschool and the ward party so we got dressed up twice. Taj asked if today was Halloween since we dressed up and trick or treated at church. I tried to explain that it wasn't and that this was just practice.

Taj really had his heart set on being a ghost, so we did what we could and this is what we ended up with. I know, he's not a ghost fairy and I've been reminded that it's a lot of tool. He's happy with it. You've got to love that it's homemade too. We went with the lion costume for Eden since that's what Taj was for his first Halloween. We'll make something for her next year when she's a little more into it. Oh, and when you hear her growl you wouldn't be able to resist it either.

We made some Frankenstein rice crispy treats, or tried anyway. They were surprisingly good. You melt white chocolate and add the food coloring. Spread it over rice crispy treats and decorate.
