Halloween Pics

This Halloween I wanted Brett to be a lion, but it's very hard to find a lion costume. So I got brave, and under instruction from my Mom, I made his costume.




Kaylee was too small for any costumes I have, so we just stuck with the jack'o latern onsie.

Breanna was able to wear her costume from last year. We went all out this year and made her hair pink too.

The kids got to go to our ward Trunk-or-Treat Friday night, and then out again through the neighborhood Saturday night. They got quite the loot.

Somehow, our Saturday afternoon got so busy that we didn't have time to feed the kids dinner before trick-or-treating. I figured they would be out for half an hour and then we could eat our pizza. An hour and a half later, they got back and they kids were tired and grumpy and wanted nothing but to get out of their costumes and eat.
Brett fell asleep while eating his pizza, and Breanna kept asking when it was time for bed. After struggling with dinner, baths, and pajamas, John rocked Kaylee in our room while I rocked the other two in the family room, and we got all three down at the same time. Then it felt like we could breath again. Holidays. :)

Cute cute pictures... So how did you make pink hair?? And, more importantly, how did you wash it out? The costume you make for Brett is incredible. The tail must have been a challenge to stuff. It will be one that is useful for kids for years and years. And the smile on the baby is so cute-she has really grown! I know what you mean about trying to fit real food in time before they go out-they want that alot more and I always found if I didn't make them eat a piece first, it was a lost cause.
