Halloween

Sunday evening at church we had our Fall Festival for the kids where they come in their costumes. Originally, Riley & Averly were going to be Bam-bam & Pebbles. I bought the fabric to make their costumes last weekend while at my parents’ house, but then ended up leaving it all there. So our next options were Spiderman & Raggedy Ann. Riley’s Spiderman outfit is actually pajamas, but paired with his mask, they worked just fine. Averly’s Raggedy Ann dress is a doll dress from a doll I had when I was little. I made her hair with yarn hot glued to a shower cap. It was all very last minute but we all made it there in one piece!

My handsome Spiderman!

Riley & his best friend/cousin, Luke. They go to school together & every time I check in on him with the camera at school they are always right beside each other.

Getting dark so it’s time for the hayride!

Poor Averly’s hat kept falling in her eyes but this bad Mama forgot her hat so she had to keep it on to cover her ears.

Then on Halloween night our town had its Trunk ‘R Treat. This our first time to go since we just moved here. It was fun, but I still like plain old Trick ‘R Treating better I think.

Dada was at work so Aunt Brooke went with us.

We also entered the costume contest & Averly got 2nd place!!! I felt like a pageant mom up there on the stage! Ha!

I bet we would’ve taken 1st AND 2nd place if they were in their Pebbles & Bam-bam costumes! ;0)

I’ve got to be sure & get a paper next week since Averly will be in it!

Afterwards we went Trick ‘R Treating at Mrs. Rhonda’s house (Luke’s grandma). And waited on Luke to get there so they could play for a while. Time got away from us & it ended up being 10:30 before we got home! We had a such a fun Halloween!!
