Whew! It sure took me long enough to get around writing about our Halloween (and even worse is I still haven’t documented our first family vacation). So, I’m not much of a Halloween lover which is weird, it just seems like I SHOULD love it. Maybe when twinzies are older and there is not so much drama about it.

Shenzie was a kitty during the actual handing out of the candy.

Anyway, we went the el cheapo route and used the same costume for Heaten as last year (which was a dragon), which was good because after 2 minutes in it he was done. I got a total of 3 photos and that was that.

A few days before Halloween we went to my Mom’s church for their Trunk or Treat. It was SUPER cold out and the kids didn’t have as much fun as I had hoped. Heaten refused his costume so he became a Ninja (since he was dressed in all black). Shenzie was a Fairy Tutu Princess with her tutu, a crown, wings, and a wand. She loved dressing up (no surprise there).

Halloween day we carved our pumpkins (which I will say we kinda suck at the whole pumpkin carving thing) and set them out front with candles which the kids loved (and of course I forgot to take a photo).

What the kids DID love was handing out candy. We sat in the doorway and every time a trick or treaters would come up they would get all giddy and yell and laugh. When the scary kids showed up Shenzie would run and grab onto me which was super cute. They had a blast putting candy in the other kids bags.

I’m hopeful next year we’ll actually GO trick or treating and maybe Heaten will be more into playing dress up.
