Happy Halloween!!

Halloween was really fun this year. I think it was mainly due to the fact that Brenna is older and actually grasps at the idea of Halloween. Morgan City sponsored a Trick-or-Treat to all the businesses. We took both the kids to that and they had lots of fun.

Brenna was Supergirl this year, not to be confused with Superwoman (you will get an earful if you mix them up). She can run super fast and fly high and save the day because she has a cape. Brenna loves to help people so this was a very fitting costume for her. I was going to have her be a princess or a fairy(Tinkerbell) but she wanted to be Supergirl, and I'm glad she was because almost all the other little girls were fairies or princesses. Brenna even did her own super hero music (da da dada). She was here to save the day.

She even has the hero pose down!

I'm trying to decided who Brenna is looking more like, mom or dad?

Exactly who did she need to save us all from? Well there was a monster on the loose, more specifically a dragon (but I think this particular dragon is somehow related to Godzilla). Ian loves to destroy all in his path. If there is ever anything that is neat and organized, he won't be too far behind to make sure it doesn't stay that way. The only thing that manages to stay where it belongs is his toy box....funny how that works. He loves to knock things over, especially when his sister is building a tower of blocks. When we give him food he loves to mash and squish it in his hands and make as big of a mess as he can. I think I should have put a cape on him and had him go as Destruct-o-boy, and be Supergirl's arch nemesis. Mommy's little monster!!!But he definitely looks(acts) like his daddy!

When the business trick-or-treat was over with we had just enough time to stop by the house and go to the trunk-or-treat at the church. Brenna had fun going to that because most of the people there were people from our ward and neighborhood. Everyone loved Ian's little dragon costume. He started getting a bit antsy so Jason gave him a dum-dum sucker and he went to town on it, everyone thought that was so cute too. When we finished with that it was time to go home. It was only 7:00 though...Halloween can't end that early. I decided to take Brenna round to some of her friends' houses to go trick-or-treating. Well, this turned into us running house to house to house to house for an hour. I would park the car and we would run to all the close houses and then get back in the car and do it again. She thought it was the coolest thing to be able to do some real trick-or-treating and run all over. We went to the houses of people in our ward so it was nice being able to get yummy homemade treats and not worry about "hidden" stuff. I just have to give kudos to the people in our ward. They are so generous on Halloween. Most the houses were giving out full size candy bars, pops, yummy homemade cookies or popcorn balls. Those that weren't giving those out gave Brenna whole handful of whatever candy she had. We ended up just leaving her bag in the car when were running around because it was so full and heavy. She got lots of treats!!! It was so nice to be able to spend that time with just me and Brenna, we haven't had much of that lately. I love my little munchkins and I'm glad that we were all able tohave fun this year!! Thank you to everyone who helped us have a fun and safe Halloween this year!!!
