Halloween

I bought this craft foam set for the girls to make Halloween finger puppets...


But, they had to be hot glued together before they could decorate them! It only said on the inside of the package! Ugh! I had to spend an hour hot gluing and then wait for them to dry! So much for a quick and easy holiday craft. What a pain in the butt!




I made some cupcakes, but because Haley was sick with the stomach flu, I couldn't share them with the soccer team. Wouldn't want to get anyone sick.



I also tried to make these from ourbestbites.com (one of my fav food blogs).




Only, they did not turn out as cute. :( I used white chocolate chips instead of almond bark. Oh well, they tasted yummy though!




This year, Kaylin wanted to be Dorithy from the Wizard of Oz. She had been talking about since her birthday in March! She asked her grandma (my Mom) if she could make the costume for her. Lucky for her, grandma can sew!

Here it is all done! We think Grandma did a fantastic job! (Thanks Mom!)

Dao took the girls out while I stayed home to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters. This was a first for us. We usually turn out the lights and head out together. I was more than willing to stay in the nice warm house to hand out candy to the 20 or so kiddos that stopped by. I did make them pose for a picture before they headed out the door. I was happy with this one, but....

they wanted to do one with silly/crazy faces. Husband added the blood and gore to his mask. (It glows in the dark.)


We can't forget our little Mushu pumpkin!

This was the first year that we didn't have a princess on Halloween. It actually brought me to tears when I realized this! My girls are growing to fast!
